I am not an expert however my PA Addiction is the slowest, easiest plane I have ever flown for 3D. I have some other ones that are slower flyers but not good for 3D. The addiction can hover with one hand on the throttle stick if it is trimmed right. I have never tried a foamy but started 3D with the Addiction and could get a 1-2 min hover in the first 8-10 tries. The biggest problem with it is wind. I got a sinulater for Christmas and it is harder to 3D on it than it is with the Addiction.
