I've seen this question before and the answer is always "yes", just not as fast or hard as the 50.

My question is, if people are asking whether the 30 can do 3D are they realling wanting to know if it can do normal aerobatics? 3D to me is advanced heli aerobatics like tic tocs, piro-flips, stationary loops/rolls (not flailing around the sky to complete the maneuver) and other hard-hitting maneuvers. I guess I'm saying that I consider 3D to be "stick banging" and not large, smooth, flowing aerobatics. Am I off base with this observation? I'm glad you specified what you considered 3D to be, that helps greatly in deciding what you want to the heli to do and if it's capable.
