Please allow me to jump in here to stir things up---it alls depends on what you call 3D. If you like hovering, a waterfall, or a harrier , then you got the wrong plane. Personally I prefer "rock-N-roll aerobatics. If you have ever seen Sean B Tucker or Jim Leroy, this will become your favorite plane. While not exactly the same, they perform the same routine--snaps, tumbles, and things that have not been named yet--lighting fast. Match it with a Taurus 3.2 and maybe after modeling 12 years you also can say it is your best combo, ever.
