Some may have noticed out-of-control panes on the field that result from my efforts and struggles with 3d aerobatics. I got started with 3d after looking at some vids by Michael Wargo.

Its true I have not made a lot of progress but its great fun.
However I have now found a website with tutorials that I think are much better if not fantastic.

Check out the hover (in UK English its called prophang)

I have not yet seen all the tutorials but in them there is an emphasis on practice, including getting a foam shockie (UK for cheap profile plane), and using a simulator. The hover and rolling harrier are more complex than I had realised and may take many hours (in my case read years) of practice to perform as demonstrated on the wild-wings vid. Another point is that the standard aerobatic manoeuvres need to be performed very well as a prelude to undertaking 3d manoeuvres.
