Thank you very much for your comments. I never feel I had resistance or questioning the 3D. I always felt it was well received and from day one who watched wants to do it, got hook it!. As you very well say now 3D is a very popular aerobatic and practice by many people around the world and I think will keep growing. I do not know what could be the next "big thing" but what I know not matter what we are doing or what we will be doing in the future it will still same basic principle of the aerobatic, show control, be precise and smooth. Take care and thank you again. Quique

Quique, you are credited with inventing 3D aerobatics. With any new type of flying, especially something as different as 3D, there is a certain amount of resistance/questioning at its introduction. I remember someone at my flying field complaining "real planes don't fly like that!" when I was torque rolling my model back before 3D became really mainstream. It seemed to some to be "silly."
Did you have any reservations about 3D when you started flying it, any questions as to whether or not it would catch on?
Secondly, 3D has become very mainstream now, it's no longer limited to only a handful of pilots. The same could be said for giant scale aerobatics. Do you have any idea what the next "big thing" might be?
Thanks for all you've done for the hobby. You're truly a visionary, and I especially like what you said about foamies bringing RC to a completely new audience. I agree completely! |
