My intention was just to show a video I came across that showed incredibly skillful flying that I will never be able to do. 3 D has been around for quite a while. I remember well when we held an IMAC event at the club 20ish years ago . The best pilots in Canada were there for the pattern competition. One of them was Ivan Kristenson who had been a world champion in pattern. When not flying official competition flights, he and others did freestyle demos, essentially the same as today’s 3D. It was the first time I had seen those kinds of maneuvers. Maybe not realistic, but very impressive.
This hobby has room for many different styles.
