  I have an Mpeg of the Freestyle doing 402 if anyone has a cable modem and can catch the file :-)

  Hi Bob,



  I 2nd the Global Freestyle.  I used an Irvine .53 and had unlimited performance with the muffler's internal baffle removed, 15% cool power.  This plane can do the slow-flight 3D stuff but can also point roll.  I have a Hype 3D which is noted on RCU as a better flyer than the Flip 3D.  However, the Hype cannot do point rolls and has SEVERE rudder induced roll & pitch couple (3D's great though).  I think the Global Freestyle is a better strike between the "Venus" and the "Flip 3D" type of planes.

  After some surfing...and some emails...(thanks everyone)...here's a short list...a "pattern" plane, but also capable of some throwing around semi-3D stuff....that's the target!!!

      I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone (off list would be just fine) who has experience with ANY of these...pros and cons.  Here goes...

  Kyosho  Flip 3D

  I'm sure there are others I've overlooked, but any feedback on these would be helpful!
