The FT-3D is a great first step into the 3D world. Although it incorporates unconventional features like vortex generators and wing plates, this plane is both simple to build and incredibly durable. You will quickly lose your anxiety when you experience the FT-3D’s rock solid high alpha and hover capabilities, couple-free knife edges, incredible roll rates, and true tracking. Dial your throws down for graceful and smooth pattern style flying, or turn it up for crazy 3d performance
NOTE:

I was able to build this in under an hour. Take your time on the wings and tail to make sure they are centered perfectly for the best flight performance. I have crashed it 2 times and was able to put it right back in the air immediately after. Great plane for just cruising as well. Cory on 30th Oct 2015
this plane is a wonderful plane to build I'm no expert pilot but took it for its madden and was able to keep it in the air I had a couple issues building it one was the vortex generators there's not enough information on installing them correctly I also had the issue of my landing gear pulling the skewers and tearing the fuselage I took another piece of foam board and cut a square to fit in between the skewers and used my hot glue on both ends of it to reinforce it and glued it in place between the holes for the skewers also I use old credit cards to make wheels for the tires I remove the paper and a small bit of foam under the area where they will get glued to the tires they work great. thank you flite test for helping me get back into this hobby Tony on 29th Sep 2015
This was the first kit I had ordered. Overall it was pretty easy to build. The only thing that I found disappointing was the attachment and and Strength of the landing gear. the landing gear after a couple flights started to crinkle the fuselage. I ended up removing the gear and glueing a peice of card stock on the bottom to act as a skid. I really love flying this airplane though and will be buying more kits . Flitetest is awesome and I love their videos. Thanks to all you guys! Cody Long on 4th Sep 2015
I have built 2 speed build kits. Just finished this one. They are top notch. For the time that it saves me to just order a speed build kit and the fact that I can help flite test do what they do, you can't beat it. Bob on 22nd May 2015
I'm a super newb to RC flight and even I can fly this beast. Took some getting used to but even after a full throttle nose dive into pavement and a few repairs it's still flying! If your new to 3D flight just make sure you have some room and start with low throws and high expo until you get used to unlimited maneuverability. Enjoy! ^_^ Chris Campi on 1st May 2015
I've assembled 3 if these now and there all great kits, fun to fly!! And super durable!! erick sackhoff on 22nd Feb 2015
