Yes it takes skill and it also takes skill to win at video games but its a useless skill that achieves nothing and will get u nowhere in life. Building model airplanes is a skill that teaches basics like the ability to follow instructions and teaching you how to accomplish a task which can help u in later life. I don't see that having the ability to erratically shove an object around the sky teaches or accomplishes anything but some perverse self enjoyment. Flying 3D has no redeeming value of any sort. Just my opinion. And when was the last time you saw a real airplane hover 10 ft. above the ground in a nose up tail down configuration (not a Harrier Jet). IMAC and pattern simulate what real planes can do and are enjoyable to watch.
