I still fly a balsa fuse. foam wing Curare converted to electric 6s. Tail drager with carbon fibre landing gear. Just the most beautiful plane to fly. I wish I could add a photo.
Flying F3A Myself Over 22yrs ago Back with the Desafio was the In Model and Many others , i used to use a comet as a practice model and precision is paramount and this CUANTIC seems to tick all the boxes although odd looking performs quite well and i enjoyed thoroughly this video thanks Dom. :-)
Here as well. I remember when I was learning to fly, the usual "career" was: 1. 2-axis high wing trainer or glider, learning how to RC 2. A simple 3-axis high wing trainer, learning how to land properly 3. Low wing trainer, improving the landings and learning basic acrobatics 4. RC1 plane (or F3A now) doing acrobatics (mild to hard core 3D 🙃) 5. Scale planes and gliders now and then, depending on age. Currently, it feels like most people skip step 4, or even stop at 3. I still love flying pattern F3A, it's like Zen meditation 😊
@@M0rdH0rst i think a lot has to do with the pricing of the pattern/f3a planes. U can rarely find f3a planes nowadays that competes with the price of a scale ARF. But hey i guess it just depends on the generation
@@gingermattb exactly, F3A is not really the cheapest when it comes to Model aircraft, Unfortunately, there are no small models like a 60 inch or 56-inch wingspan that you can use as an introduction to F3A So at least you start somewhere but cheaper.
They are really going nuts with the fuselages now 😀 I have Sebarts Prometheus and I thought that fuselage is already crazy. This probably doesn't need any rudder in knife-edge.
It will certainly be easier to perform knife-edge loops. But jeez, that's the ugliest pattern ship I've ever seen. And that vertical fin looks like its rudder is missing.
@@richarddarlington1139 сам разрабатываю f3a Фюзеляж на f3a oxai вполне хватает для полета и не надо дальше увеличивать его высоту. Модель немного уродлива Сделана по принципу побольше. Данная форма не приживется из за сложности транспортировки модели
Definitely a little weird looking with the bigger fuselage, but you can see it better in the air compared to something like an early pattern plane. Like the Kaos.
That's a bizarre looking thing, like the 2m version of an indoor foaime with as much side area as wing area. Looks like it would be more at home underwater.
Enjoy pression.pattern flying.. Slow three point rolls in straight line .. & Watching pression rolling circles..my Dad did when he was alive flew majectly...although plane was not pattern being a phaton 90 by plane .. Rather watch smouth flying & not of blure of maneuvers ..
Flys well, but…. 🤮 I can see why they’ve designed it this way, but when the rules result in a model that looks like this, it’s time to change the rules IMO.
Sorry.. forgive me but not my cup of tea. The romance of F3A has gone. This is not a like a plprod excellence with a Yamada up front. Those were the days.
Idk, i love F3A, but the planes are getting so ugly! All for what better aero and knife edges ? I'd rather fly my lasers or pilot rc's 3d gas planes now 🫤
I'm still very much in love with the planes from the 80's and 90's. I love their design and just the way they look. This plane is butt ugly, and I can't even imagine myself buying and flying one of these....I just don't understand what happened to the pattern planes from back in the day. It seems like they've lost their looks....

I miss the times when we flew beautiful planes like the Phoenix 7, Tiporare, Blue Angel, Aurora, etc..

I am proud to have designed the plane for myself. I found this video by chance, greetings from Argentina!🤗
Thanks Mariano! Fantastic RC aeroplane ✈
Mariano, nobody can say that your designs are a copy of someone else's - yours are unique and incredible.
Your design does well in the USA at competitions
Appears to stay at constant speed weather climbing, diving or in level flight.. Fantastic Model.

Regardless of what one might think of the airplane itself, it is always enjoyable to watch a skilled pilot at work.
👏👏👏
@@IMIXUKF he's in command of the controls so yes technically he's The Pilot, piloting the aircraft in the sky.
Thank you!
Smooth flying Roy! What a beautiful plane.
F3A flyers getting fewer n fewer as the years go by esp in my country. I hope more flyers get into it ♥️

With models that look like this and cost that much is it any real surprise?!
@@gingermattb Bingo! Same thing with IMAC, but at least their airplanes look like real airplanes..

Thank very much!!!!!
You're welcome!

Very little he told me!

@@richarddarlington1139 I like the look,,, resembles a fish swimming as opposed to a bird flying.
@@richarddarlington1139 сам разрабатываю f3a

She’s a big girl, reminds me of some kind of fish. Really stable flight, great stuff 👍🏻
Really neat plane and flying skills.
F3A is amazing
Beautiful flying and so quiet! Great video Dom ☺️👍
Thanks Will 👍
@@EssentialRC специфичная модель.
Хотя высота фюзеляжа избыточна.
Годиться для очень плотного пилотажа.
Nice camera work excellent really. I like that he actually flies it not just a show and tell item
Great video. Very interesting thankyou!!
Definitely a little weird looking with the bigger fuselage, but you can see it better in the air compared to something like an early pattern plane. Like the Kaos.
That fuselage has some serious volume. Looks like it could carry a 100+ miles of battery packs, no problem
🤣
Great flying Sir !
Phantastisch!
Very good design rock solid stable thanks for sharing
Well now, that was interesting. I'm kind of on the fience of how it makes me feel.
Do you know the weight of this plane? I was thinking of using a q80 in my 1/3 piper vagabond but I'm not sure if that's a good match
This model is from CA Models in Argentina. Argentina and Brazil have great F3A, scale and 3D rc manufacturers
Yes. The link is in the video description
That's a bizarre looking thing, like the 2m version of an indoor foaime with as much side area as wing area. Looks like it would be more at home underwater.
To me an odd-looking plane but it sure flew nice. Would have liked to have seen a 4-point roll.
Is this a 3D acrobatics plane? It's looks like it's capable of doing more than that!
No! Not 3D. F3A for precision aerobatic sequences.
Enjoy pression.pattern flying..
Slow three point rolls in straight line ..
& Watching pression rolling circles..my
Dad did when he was alive flew majectly...although plane was not pattern being a phaton 90 by plane ..
Rather watch smouth flying & not of blure of maneuvers ..
Today F3A planes are so ugly! Nothing like 70's 80's 90's planes!
Big shark
It’s hard to believe that something so ugly could fly so well! It’s like an Edsel airplane! 🍻
Flys well, but…. 🤮 I can see why they’ve designed it this way, but when the rules result in a model that looks like this, it’s time to change the rules IMO.
I fully understand the desire to decrease the pilot's workload, but this is ridiculous.
I prefer to fly airplanes that look like airplanes.
Agreed. That has to be the ugliest aerobatic aircraft I’ve ever set eyes on.
The plane looks like a foamy profile model...or a bit like a sunfish...
brrrr.. not nice plane but flying well. Looks like the Airbus Beluga :-)
🛩🛩😊😊
Ok ,it's time to go fishing.😅
😁
Fuselage is taller than the wing is deep… Don’t cut yourself on that knife-edge
Good thing they do not award appearance points in F3A!
That sure is an ugly plane. Good flying though.

👎 Il modello più brutto ch abbia mai visto.........
Sorry.. forgive me but not my cup of tea. The romance of F3A has gone. This is not a like a plprod excellence with a Yamada up front. Those were the days.
Nice flying of a very ugly model.
All for the knife edge tricks, I guess...🤔
Flys nice but it’s ugly !
Idk, i love F3A, but the planes are getting so ugly! All for what better aero and knife edges ? I'd rather fly my lasers or pilot rc's 3d gas planes now 🫤
И самолёт уродливый и пилот никакой...
OK when the Pattern planes look like ugly big fish, I'm out !
Голяма грозотия 😢😢😢
