Everything you can't do with a full scale plane. Hover inches off the ground etc.

Basically, you take an aerobatic airframe and put 2 1/2 to 3 times thrust to weight and go "flying". I had the joy of watching a freestyle competition at an IMAC meet at a local field last summer. I have not tried 3D myself, but it is truly fun to watch and the pilots are very skilled. Ive seen 40% planes take off with a 2 foot run and go straight into a hover no more than 10 feet off of the ground. Some of the maneuvers just leave you shaking your head and saying "theres no way an airplane should do that", lol. Do a google search for 3D R/C aerobatics and check out some videos.

At about 40 seconds into this flick, you'll experience 3D flying.

Although on a simulator, that is a great video. After watching for fun a few times, watch it again and concentrate on the control surfaces and imagine the concentration required to fly those maneuvers inches off the ground. Youll see what I mean by skilled pilots.

Wow!!!! Although it is a sim, that is the best sim video I have ever seen. Truly a skilled pilot at the controls.

Amazing,

That guy flies at my club. He's pretty handy with profile planes too.
