Weight is the biggest problem with these things... 6 lbs is common, when they need to be around 5 or less for good 3D. Seems like each year these Cap kits get heavier...

It might do a few 3D manuevers, but will not be a good trainer...Don't count on doing any harriers or elevators with it. It will do some incredible snaps and spins though!

I had a Kyosho Cap 232 .40 size with a Pro .46 and there was no chance of any 3D-was 5.3 lbs. Just too snappy...After all, these are .40 size Caps...

It did fly great though! You will enjoy the airplane either way. You might want to consider a little profile if you really want to get into this 3D stuff.
