Things such as 3D, CA, 1/2 A etc.

ok im new to this sort of thing but i will take a stab at it

3D = caplable of advanced aerobatics i.e. hovering

CA = a type of glue similar to super glue/krazy glue theres a chemical name for it but im not going to attempt to spell it you local hobby shop(LHS) will have it

1/2A is small scale planes that usually fly on .049-.074 glow engines

hope this helps.

Thanks,

Where's the big list for newbies ?
