No, It does not suck. It flys just as it was intended to. You must remember that the words Cap, Extra, Edge and Ultimate do not mean 3D automaticly. Planes by those names dont really have the capablity to untill the sizes go up to 27% scale size and larger which means LARGE engines. Funny how newbies veiw the value of models and the intent for which they were designed....

The better planes for 3D in the 40-50 size range are mainly the profile birds, there are other type coming on the market all the time. You'll be looking for a plane at 5lbs or less to hover and 3D well.
