Default RE: u can do 3d

Got to go with the flow, this thing is a 3D trainer and on low rates, could almost be used as a trainer. Just make sure you put enough power on it. It is a large airplane for a standard .46. If you use a OS, TT, or Magnum .46 to .52, strongly suggest you spend the $15 for a Tower .46 muffler. It is not only lighter than stock, it makes those engines run like they are on steroids. Also, if you are using std servos on the ailerons and rudder, make sure you go to 6 volts for the extra holding power, torque and speed that will generate.

Be warned, the airplane has a inherent weak fuse above the landing gear and it comes off easy. Once it does come off and it will if you fly it off rough grass, glue it back with good 30 minute epoxy extra pins through the formers, extra tri-stock and fiberglass cloth over the outside for extra strength. I have one that is over two years old and after that fix has survived many rough landings.

One other thing, you really need a good computer radio with expo on it to get into really wild aerobatics with this plane. It can be flown on a standard radio on low rates, but will lack what it was made for.

Good luck, and welcome to the world of 3D capability.
