Large Scale RC Aerobatics & 3D Flying
Large scale aerobatic aircraft bring the full “wow factor” to the flightline — powerful engines, big control surfaces, and the presence that only a large model can deliver. From smooth precision aerobatics through to aggressive 3D flying, these aircraft showcase both pilot skill and outstanding model performance.
Aerobatics vs 3D — what’s the difference?
Traditional aerobatics focuses on smooth, accurate manoeuvres flown with constant speed and clean lines — loops, rolls, stall turns, Cuban eights and precision sequences. 3D flying pushes aircraft beyond “normal” flight into high-alpha and post-stall manoeuvres, often flown slow and close-in, using large control throws and rapid power changes.
- Precision aerobatics: smooth lines, consistent speed, coordinated turns, and graceful manoeuvres.
- 3D (high-alpha) flight: hovering, torque rolls, harriers, waterfalls, and other post-stall manoeuvres.
- Large scale presence: bigger models look more realistic and are easier to see at distance.
- Power & control: petrol engines, tuned setups, and strong servos for large control surfaces.
Large scale flying at KAMS
With a large mown grass runway area and plenty of airspace, KAMS is an ideal place to fly large aerobatic aircraft. On weekends you’ll often see big petrol models in action — everything from scale aerobatic aircraft through to purpose-built 3D machines.
