Default RE: What Do YOU Consider 3D?

ORIGINAL: RC-FIEND

Really has nothing to do with opinions as flight is no longer a theory, it's a fact based on aerodynamics and physics and there are plenty of books and journals about airflow, airfoils and stalls etc.
but yet you went on explaining the theory of flight instead of the theory of 3D flying [:-]
I was just helping that guy out. He was confusing pressure with airflow. That's all.


3D = model in stalled attitude
BUZZER

3D is not just flying beyond/in/on a stall. If I'm flying a [link=http://www.shockflyer.com]Shock Flyer[/link] straight and level in circles, I'm flying it on stalled wings. A [link=http://www.shockflyer.com]Shock Flyer[/link] and other foamies don't have airfolied wings, so the wings are always stalled. So now this brings up an entire new discussion on 3D and stalled wings.

l would be more then happy to tell some of the old farts that fly foamies at my field that they are flying 3D when they are cruising their foamies around in circles. They'd get a big kick out of that. Heck maybe they would even learn the secret 3D handshake.
