Default RE: Getting into 3D


ORIGINAL: Futaba Owner

I've been wanting to get into 3D flying but wasn't sure what type aircraft to use. I was thinking along the lines though, of electric foamys? So I was wondering what your recommendations were for a tough foamy that could take abuse and that I could learn 3D on. Any other suggestions on what planes to use would be great.
Thanks

Futaba Owner, I tried to PM you but you're blocking PM's!

Here ya go:

or for 40 size glo fuel :

Because they're (semi flexible) EPP, they don't track as straight as balsa birds at higher speeds, but you won't be able to break them while learning 3D down on the deck. I

IMO, the 4D lite flys better than the Ucando, blade, or any other flexible foamie.

There's nothing comparable to the glo powered 4D for durability. Even after the learning stages, it's still more wild and crazy than most profiles due to full flying tail feathers. Nothing does waterfalls as tight as a 4D.

Sorry for the blatant ad, but your request seemed to beg for this response.
