The difference between designs like the Tango, and a 3D profile plane has a lot to do with balance, wing loading, and airfoil. A fun-fly plane is going to have large control surfaces, like its 3D brethren. However, it is going to do better in strait, level flight at the faster speeds required to keep up with other traffic in the pattern. At the same time, it will do very tight maneuvers that other planes are incapable of. It will not hover for sustained periods of time like a 3D profile (Mojo, Burrito, and their ilk) or large-scale 3D scale plane (such as the Edge 3D, Yak 54 3D, Ultimate 3D, and so forth). In summary: Planes like the Twist, Tango, Seagull Harriar, and so forth are "jack of all trades" type planes, but are not meant for specialized applications.
