Default RE: What Do YOU Consider 3D?

Another thing I was noticing about scale models. They really aren't scale. Yeah, they kinda look like a "real" airplane, but if they are very aerobatic (read 3D) they have much greater aileron, rudder, elevator control surfaces than the real thing. So,....I guess they aren't scale either. If they were truly scale I think most modelers would be very disappointed in the 3D performance. I doubt even Kyle or Barry Flick could 3D a Hanger 9 Corsair or a P51 or a Cessna, or a?????

Anyways, we haven't even discussed the profiles or the foamys. Are they the real 3D planes? My guess is the more specialized they plane is the better it flys 3D and the less like a "real" airplane it is.

I'm just passionate about 3D planes.

Thanks
Barry
