Default difference between 3D and F3A?

Hi,

I have a couple of questions:

*what's the difference between 3D and F3A?
*I'm looking for an allround plane with which I can fly smooth patterns, but also aerobatics and 3D manouvres (torque rolls etc).

*a club member of mine is selling his sombrero (siegel). what kind of aircraft is this, how does it fly? Would this plane fill in the expectations above? Anyone owns/flows one?

A F3A plane does not have enough surface on the control surfaces for good 3D.

They will all TR, however the ailerons do not go inboard enough to keep from TRing, on most pattern birds.

The H9 Showtime, the new Filton Inspire or the large Fusion is great for pattern and 3D.

trust me the YT international--The new Improved Adrenaline 120:

2 models in 1 perform extreme freestyle maneuvers with ease... Then flick the rates for precise F3A flying.

This plane flies like a dream

Duh, Fusion 90 was designed for exactly this purpose. Check out Andrew Jesky's video at http://ohiomodelplanes.com/67fusionarf/.
