Default 3D Focus flies

I think there is a picture on a website somewhere that looks quite out of place, a very conventional-looking pattern plane doing high alpha inverted flight.

www.gwair.com

The 3D Focus has flown. In case you are not familiar, this is an F3A pattern plane, with plug in 3D wing and elevators that have greatly enlarged control surfaces.

The plane flew pretty well, and, with the challenge of keeping the plane for regular pattern competition, it should be competitive for artistic aerobatics as well.

That the update for now,
Don

Roll rate is phenomenal, I would like to try and get more than the 30 or so degrees of elevator for more pitch and lower torque roll entry. It will waterfall but not as tight as plances designed for 3D. Reminds me of a precision waterfall. The plane flies smooth.
