What are, in your opinion, the easiest and the most difficult 3D manoeuvers?
Place them in classification.
Thank you

This is just from my experience and level of practice. Your mileage may vary:
Tail Touch Balloon pop <- Hardest:
Hovering Torque Roll
Inverted Harrier
Knife Edge Spin
Waterfall
Blender
Flat spin (upright/inverted, rising or falling)
Wall
Upright Harrier (looks like "hover" in wind) <- Easiest

Blender and walls the easiest. Inverted harriers have got to be the hardest- you need fantastic rudder control.

definately the anti torqueroll to be the hardest for me. inverted harriers are easy provided that you dont mess up on rudder as luke says. a good, rock steady, slow torque roll is also very difficult.

I'm not sure I agree that inverted harriers are the hardest. You need stones of steel to do a good nose cone touch. A nice pusher prop and great reflexes are needed for this one.

elevator r 2 easy if the plane will actully do that move
hardesst move rolling elevator and t-rolls
non 3d a rolling circle
did i mention i can do it those moves at least i can when i talk on rcuniverse[

I was thinking of a new 3D Maneuver I have been practicing. Dare no one take credit for it. It is the rolling waterfall. It sorta explains itself. Kinda hard but I'm learning it on the sim.

1) I'd have to say a rolling harrier sqaure eight (As box looking as possible) with a crossover at the middle alternating at each point(rolling left then to right )! (I MEAN LOW)
2) Torque rolling your plane to the right if you have enough aileron power!

I would have to classify as this:
Easy:
Wall
Elevator
Harrier
Blender
Intermediate:
torque roll
parachute (takes balls to do it down low)
inverted harrier
Knife edge elevator
knife edge harrier
Advanced:
Tail touching
Rolling Harrier
Rolling Harrier Circle
Rolling Harrier Loop
Also, I regard people that can combine manuevers into a sequence as more advanced. Say for example: doing a inverted elevator to the deck and pulling to a torque roll. Then going from a torque roll to a rolling harrier loop without stopping the rolling. This is an advanced sequence.

I can't make sense of your manoeuver called "rolling harrier loop". Can you explain it/draw it/record it in RFG2 or AFP?
I CAN picture a rolling loop, and a rolling harrier circle, but how a rolling harrier loop? I can't see the plane moving through a loop in a harrier attitude. What am I missing? Lots of wind?
