Default RE: U Can Do 3D

Its easy to forget other "old school" stunts the Do can handle but most others can't, like square loops, I use elev-flap mix(up elev=down flaps)for this and can start a loop (start on up-line)down as low as 15 ft,it does very tight loops and the corners look almost square. I can do diamond shape too,all very low. I dont hear too many posts about its slow HA KE but the Do again does this like no other I've seen,very slow and holds at 45 deg. angle which makes it easier to get down low,I've been down to 3' for a while doing this. Its just a unique plane IMO in appearance and flight. Even my good friends at the field tried to talk me out of flying the Do but after a time they all relented,no one else is doing everything that I'm doing. There are some better flyers at my field, they mainly fly giants, but none of them TR down on the deck,I've never seen anyone else drop 10-20 feet while TR'ing and still maintain vertical. Sometimes when its gusty I have to quit flying some of the 3-D stunts and watch the giants continue to do their thing, but thats OK with me, I cant afford 35-40%'ers so I'm content waiting for my "window" to do it all.
