A profile plane like the Morris or Carl Goldberg would be good. The Magic is alot of fun but won't knife edge or hover as easy. I've heard good things about the Global Freestyle.

Jason Shulman has a video that's good. It's at www.jasonshulman.com. If you go to horizon hobby website and look for 3d under their 'articles' section they actually have pretty good instruction for 3d manuvers.

Top Cap is a good steady plane .

Once u have gota hang , then u can progress onto a seduction . Very delicate plane , cannot afford to do a hard landing on it .

Regards.

Hi Mike! Well I'm kind of attracted to ucd BUT I'm hearing a lot of issues with the weak and brittle rib structure. Maybe I should wait a little while until the bugs are removed.............

Yeah, and I would like the Sedution ONO, but I heard that they are having problems with flight quality too-not a 3D plane...Is this true?
The hypw there was, I thought that they would really be great for pattern and 3D.......

I'd recommend the pizazz.....I'm still amazed how great this plane flies..I was doing rolling harriers a foot off the runway today..a lot of fun.

I'd take the pizazz over my topcap anyday BTW.
