Hi my name is Pedro Ochoa as you can tell I am from South America Colombia. I am 18 years old and I have been flying planes since 12 years old... I have been practicing my 3D "skills" this year in the Aerofly Professional deluxe sim. I have some electric planes not very good ones. I also have a Morris the knife made by a friend and me, flies great but has an OS 0.46AX motor and is not very powerful to do 3D, that is the reason why I practice every day in the sim (because I want to have my first giant 3D).

I love this forum, everyone is extremely kind. I wonder know how did you guys got so good at 3D flight, I mean how much time did you spend in the sim daily.


Thank you so much!
Hope I can get my giant soon and get extremely good at 3D flying

Welcome, thanks for saying hi. When you ask people here how they got really good at 3D, most of them will tell you that they are still trying to get really good at 3D!
The flight simulators are really good for practicing basic orientation like how to use your rudder while inverted, get the plane to go where you want in knife edge, etc. There is no telling how much an average flyer needs to spend on the simulator because you make the most progress setting up real models and flying at the field.
Look up "Bonedoc1" and "Wamsy's 3D tutorials" on youtube. Also, read [thread=228]Ben Fisher's 'How to land a 3D plane'[/thread].
Other than that, be sure to ask anything about specific maneuvers you're having trouble with.
 
Thank you so much I really appreciate your help and time to write me back! I truly need to spend more time at the field! Wow I love so much this group and you pilots ✈️✈️✈️✈️. Nice flights

New to GSN!
Just wanted to share some pics of my now complete plane. Just need to bind and tune it for Saturday's maiden flight. Weather permitting...
Thanks again for the welcome to the site. Looking forward to sharing with the community...
