Well I will be honest flying hard 3D probably causes them to get worn out a lot faster. Same thing happens in full scale aerobatics. I.E. they break the planes down and go over everything.

They dont call me the tail snapper for nothing. I think its the same with blenders too?

I dont think I have a negative attitude at all. I like all types of flying. I like to fly helis, gliders, whatever. I am also quick to take someone up on a trainer box or help someone land or fly the pattern better.

We all started somewhere. I just wish I would have realized I would have gone to 40% sooner. Would have saved a bunch of money. I do have to thank Tony for telling me 33-35% was the way to go. The flying got so much more fun at that size.
