| You hit the nail on the head- Precision 3D!
A lot of the "smack-down" 3D flying is definitely stick banging. Just because you can do a rainbow close to the ground does not make it technically complex.
Also, most of the stick banging flights don't show that the pilot knows where the model is going to be from one corner of the tx gimbal to the other.
There are some superb precision 3D pilots out there but they don't get the recognition because they don't try to do everything right in front of them. Rather, they show the speed and the power of the machine in all flight phases, whether close or at the edge of the field. That, at least to me, is 3D flying.
I love to see a maneuver really executed - flown all the way through and repeated, both left side/right side. Show me that you got a dialled in engine producing 15% more than mine or a tail that just out performs anything I can set up on my machine - then you have my attention.
It's the sort of feeling you get when you watch Curtis flying. He alwasys seems to have about 1hp more than me!
Much of the flying right now is hugely stereotypical - very little innovation, little of it is personnally identifiable.
MRC-Hirobo have now shown that these machines can fly at the top level of both F3C and 3D. I don't think there is any other company out there that can claim that.

The heat made it a little hard on the machine and myself, probably more myself lol.
