RE: 3D learning on G3: advice
I think the Yak with 3D throws works pretty well. (not with gyro's, you'll never learn anything)
I also think the newer planes available on the G3 expansion & the ones available on knife edge software's forums are pretty darn good. I've only played with AFPD a couple times, but in my opinon the newer G3 planes were just as good.
I personally fly with the 40% carden Edge that I d'loaded from their forums & it flies very close to my 30% Edge.
