3D Training

RustyTumbles · 01-04-2006, 09:48 PM

OK,

What does everyone use for 3d training?? (before you start huckin the giants down low) Is it foamies, the simulator, or smaller thrash glow models???

I'm just curious as to what people use to learn 3D aerobatics....

About 3 packs a day(in the foamy not the kind you smoke)
About an hour or so before going to bed on the Aerofly Pro Deluxe
Fly the Cap 6 or 8 flights Saturday, Sunday, and sometimes Friday.

When I got started into 3d several years ago i used glow planes. Now as technology has progressed with the electrics i'm in favor of them. They don't require any messy fuels and can be flow just about anywhere. Some friends and I have even done night flying at malls after they've closed. It's really fun, just don't fly above the lights

All 3 way's are great!! The sim is definately good but you gotta get some REAL stick time to help get you comfortable with what you are doing. Foamy's are a great way to practice because it's convienient. You can burn a couple packs in the evening ususally right at home or close by. And small glow planes are great! Especially profiles which is what I would highly recommend because they are good 3D'ers and also pretty tough to boot!

SPAD 3D!!! They are awesome for learning
Simulator is sooo cost effective
foamy
oh yeah and you have to ball up at least one gasser.

I don't make the rules I just live by them
