If you want to really get after it go with a "made for 3D" plane. The UCD is a great example.
Thanks

The UCD is the absolute worst 3D plane ever released.
The only reason why beginner and intermediate pilots think its so great is because it's the first plane they've banged a stick on after they soloed.
You can tell that the UCD 3D is a 3D plane just by its name. It is true by definition. Not sure how you can argue that it is not. In fact, this is probably the best way to tell if a plane is a 3D plane or not. Look to see if there are any decals on it indicating that it is a 3D plane. For instance, look at my mini 3D. With the big 3D decals on the wing who could argue that it is not a true 3D plane? [sm=lol.gif]
If you want to do 3D slowly there is no substitute for low wing loading!!![sm=spinnyeyes.gif] Reynolds numbers are a big factor here also, as the bigger you go the higher the wing loading can be and still be able to "float". That means that the best scale planes(higher wing loadings) will not 3D as slow as the best non scale planes(lower wing loadings). Slower is not always better though.[&:]
