3D takes years to learn, thats why you couldnt find anything on it. Youll need to start with a high wing trainer like a Kadet LT 40 and get with someone who is willing to teach you how to fly the basics first.
I agree.... you need the basics and need to understand flight commands and reponse in order to do 3D. Ive been flying for 4 years...and im just about to really work on getting it down in the coming season.
Either way, as boring as a basic trainer might look, it is alot of fun learning to fly.
I have had a student solo in one day then had others take months and months. It took me a lot of weeks so I'm still in shock to see kids pick up a foamie and start flying right away. Foamies seem to be a lot easier for people to learn with and if 3-D is what they strive for I tell them to go for it but be prepared to buy more then one plane during the learning curve. I do agree learning to fly with a trainer and instructor is a better way to go but not always needed. After trying to fly the foamies maybe Carl will decide to locate a club and a good instructor but I know several good pilots that are self taught and started with the small electrics.
