Default Best 3d Airframe

I don't know if this is gonna stir a hornet's nest but I have to ask what is the best airframe for 3d. Edges, Extras, Yaks, Sukhois, Sbach 342, Mx2. So many decisions just thought I would ask?

Yep, the best one is coming out soon......it has two wings, claws and oddly enough is called "the Beast". Keep your eyes and ears open for it to show it's bad self.

Extra 300 midwing! Just my opinion though. Everyone has their preferences. :-)

Also, as it translates to RC.... depends on brand...

you could by 4 Extra 300's from 4 different manufacturers and built 2 Extra 300's from kits, and you will have 6 planes that all fly differently.....

Find the airframe that you like, from a quality manufacturer with a good reputation...and burn gas.

I think it would need to have good control surface throws ... 80 degrees maybe...low wing loading( if 50cc then 24 to 26) would be awesome.and ofcourse light weight.hmmmm.....Sbach 342 by rc xtreme comes to mind.

I was waiting for that! For me, it's the Extreme Flight Extra 300!

You're definately right about that though.

id have to say its what your comfortable with, if you fly a yak,edge,extra ect. get stick time and that will be your 3d machine these planes all have good and bad traits just know them and burn fuel and anything can be that machine your looking for.
