RE: learning 3D
keep practicing and your brain will eventually get it. foamies are really the only way to move forward in 3D. sims help but practice makes perfect. I used an epp plane to start from efoamies the extra 300 you can beat the heck out of them. fly about 2-4 batteries a day for a year or so and you will be doing rolling harriers in no time. for me practicing hovering until I can grab the plane from the air really tought me which way to go with the sticks. practice practice practice.
