I'm currently learning to fly 3D manuevers. I have watched the 3D University videos on Flying Cirkus. I was wondering if you guys could post any other links to helpful descriptions of the manuevers. I know each plane takes a little different input. I just need to get an idea of what inputs are needed at which stages of the manuevers.

I have had all sorts of glow flyers and electrics for the past year trying to get good at 3D. Part of my problem is 70 year old reflexes. Now the good part. About a month ago a friend let me fly his Illusion by rcxplanes.com. Bought one fast. In the past weeks, I have improved so much its unbelieveable. Now doing torque rolls as long as I want, elevators to soft landings, knife edge loops-3 to4, waterfalls and all the good stuff. Tail toutches are now about 50/50, but in the overall, I am beginning to look like I know what I am doing. My take is that its the airplane 99%. Yea, its a foamy, but what a foamy. Tough, flys in the wind with no problem ect. The majority of my buddies have seen what is going on and a bunch have also purchased them. My second rcx pane is in (extra 330L recommended by the dealer, and I am going to work on it right now. If you have any electric gear, try one of these. If not, buy their package, everything you need except receiver and battery for $164.00 including a Hacker 20-20L and its controller. Let me know what you think after a week.
