Nat it's meant to be an F3A airplane not 3D, but with the right motor the
right prop and a little mod to the tail it will turn into 3D if you like.
I'm quite happy with mine with the brushless set up as an F3A model. Mine
came out around 14 oz. if yours is lighter set it up and have fun. You can
really push the envelope without risking your 2M bird.
