Default Whats the truth behind "3D Capable"

Because: planes under 25% are often too heavy, although I have a Kyosho CAP which is great at 3D.

People seem to think that 3D models are funflys and models with great big wings and surfaces. I totally disagree. A funfly model is a high wing model with large surfaces and thick wing section (briefly!) .... a low wing version from experience are always more happy at freestyle. .... rarely we see a low wing model at funfly comp, and a funfly at freestyle comp .... at least is the case in UK.


3D is not what people make it out to be. Most 3D maneuvers cannot be performed by funfly type or funfly/freestyle models (excluding F3A hybrids such as the majestic/funtana)

3D is where the wing has almost no effect.... hover for instance, or elevator....


If you hadn't guessed im struggling with what i want to say here!

To do proper 3D you need a proper wign that will actually stall, not one that is stall resistant. .... tipstall resisitant yes, but it has to stall stabily to fly basic 3D.
