RE: learning 3D
The above is completely right. But there is a SPAD called a QHOR. It will not fly like a normal airplane but it is a GREAT 3D trainer. We gave one to our oldest flyer at our club. He is somewhere around 73 years young. He is now flying his balsa 3D airplanes closer to the ground.
Look the spad is so tuff, I have one and I have went through some props but that’s it. Dave McDonald is a great resource. You will find a thread on RCU.
