No the super skybolt is not a 3D airplane. I am not saying that its not capable of doing a little 3D but it was designed before 3D became so popular and it lacks the control surfaces (and probobly proper airfoil) for 3D. Most of your UCDos and Laser3D's and Diablos fly 3D awesome but their pattern ablility is not as good as it could be. If pattern is not what you want to focus on these planes will be great. If you want something to do both check out the freestyle.

I just built an Ultra Sport 40+. The first day i flew it I did waterfalls and harriers...way up high but i did it! This plane dosen't get the props it deservers. The waterfalls were cool pivoting right on the wing. It also will fly knife edge at half throttle and 1/3 low rate rudder!

Mine weighs 5.0lb with a Saito 72.

How "beginner" are you? If you've had no flight experience, you really need to buy a trainer and seek flight instruction.

If you've soloed, the Laser 3D is a great 3D plane. Very docile. But you want a bipe?? Check out the various Ultimate Bipes...

THough I wouldn't really recomend a 3D type plane for a 2nd or 3rd airplane...

Capiche is sold from Jersey so shouldn't be a problem getting it to Belgium.

If you really want a biplane, a Goldberg Ultimate can do 3d if you set it up right. Make sure you build light and have enough throw on the control surfaces. But I would suggest starting with something like a Capiche which is designed for 3D from the start.

You could proberbly make a quick hop across the sea on the ferry from belgium to jeursy. It would be worth it. or maby the postige would be cheaper. its definatly the best out there.

Calm down lads... I was dissapointed to see the Saiot 72 thread closed (unreasonably I thought), presumably because of Capiche talk...

Lots of people talk about recommending lots of other models, including the Seduction range... so its a little harsh to give others who have become enthusiatic about the model for talking about it....

perhaps they need to spend more time at the field and less time on the pc though !LOL..

Shadow, for what its worth these guys are operating completely of their own volution... I have not even met them ! But what can I say.. most of them have a Capiche 50 !?
(I would also add that they recommend other planes too !)

Its a new thing is all... Im sure it will die down... before coming up again for another pass !

Anyway... to the Capicherons out there.... I think the last thread being closed down was a message to calm down a bit..!
thanks for your support though.... dont give up completely
