All you have to do is try a simple 3D manouver way to close to the ground and fly outside your comfort zone, or try doing it with balls bigger than the pair your wearing .

You are of course 100% correct Gazz The trick is to have the discipline to fly with in ones own ability and to know what ones limitations are. But models are going to get broken finding that out
Wayne go for thin electric props. I use wooden props when I can, they spool up faster because they are lighter and give better acceleration. They also teach you how to land..............................'cause if you get it wrong there goes another prop.
If you want to fly 3D then start by doing rolls keeping level and not loosing height, do one, then two then three in a row.
Then do 4 point rolls using rudder to hold the nose up when on edge. do all of this from left to right and from right to left right down the center of the strip. Hours of it, Then learn slow rolls coordinating rudder elevator and ailerons. Knife edge should be easy enough if you can do 4 point rolls. Once you can do nice slow rolls then learn rolling circles, once that is under you belt, Harriers and rolling harriers will follow easy enough.
“The knack of flying is learning how to throw your machine at the ground and miss.”
