| Hi,
To be realistic, you will probably have destroyed your first VE before you get to 3D moves, but lets hope not.
The VE will do loops and rolls in stock form.
To be fully 3D, you need few upgrades. Try searching this forum and especialy http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/index.php.
The Rc Groups board is for electrics and many VE owners hang out there. That is the best place for VE discussions.
You can go with a brushless motor and a couple of easy linkage adjustmanents as a first step. Even if you are not yet into 3D I would still go for the brushless motor. I use a hacker 40-10c with 8 cells. This is a cheap but good solution. More cells and a more powerfull motor are good for 3D but not needed in the beginning.
I have also moved to a longer boom and 460mm Carbon blades. Do a search for the VE 'stretch' modification on RC Groups for more info or email me for details.
I would stay away from LiPo's for a while as they don't crash well. A small meeting with the ground and you can trash $$$ in LiPo cells. The NiMh are durable and cheap.
Good luck and I'm sure that you will enjoy your VE.

poor me. If there's any good pick beside JR VE (small to medium size AND electric), please let me know. I also consider the EOLO Spirit Pro aswell, but it seems to me that EOLO Pro is not very good for beginner thou. Thanks!
