RE: Which plane for 3D?
Yup. Hovering in nose up tail in orientation is a sliver of what's available. The real fun begins when you start learning the upright and inverted harrier, rollers, TRs etc,. and work on getting these moves to flow together. As everyone has said, the profile is the perfect tool to surive this learning curve. And you might find, as I have, its your favorite type of airplane.
