Okay two words. CrackYak and BoneDoc. I can't say enough good things about BoneDoc's 3D Clinic Videos.
3D Newb, what's first?

Yup what profile did you have? I would assume it might have been a swanyhouse mojo or primo. His stuff flys really good and the thick wing and lots of wing area makes it easy actually to learn low and slow stuff.

@rollingharrier and his dad were set up right next to me at Joe Nall and the entire TwistedFoamys crew was there throughout the week. I'll get a Crack Yak at some point but for now I've got to conserve benjamins and use what I've got. If I can just go as far as possible with the 20cc profile plane I'd like to step up to 50cc from there with the DA-50 I've got on my shelf. AJ's new plane looks fun but we'll see where we're at when the time comes. I've got a lot of work to do here on top of learning some new tricks so I'll be busy the next couple of months trying to get it all where I want it to be.

His name is Josh Young. I'll have to poke around and see what he's up to. You should track him down for an interview Bart. Set him up with his own thread here on GSN. He would be a great addition.

I can't find too much about him other than he's from San Antonio, TX. Maybe someone on here from Texas knows him. Doesn't look like he's been too active on the other forums lately.

Bart.....It was a small home made (blue builders foam) 200 watt electric that I practiced and practiced hovering with. Made a replica of it with RF 3.5 and flew it that way too. I finally got good enough that I could actually hold the real electric against the side of a building while hovering and then fly around trees and hover up to do some branch trimming with the prop lol.
As far as doing all out low and slow or high energy your going to have to have the right plane "you" feel most comfortable with. For me it was the 30% Pilot Edge that notched my 3D abilities up a good bit. Proof is in the pudding because my Edge is still flying after almost six years. Now this little 20cc Yak comes along and I decided to grow a pair and do water falls that let the tip of the rudder get oh so close to the ground! lol
