I kinda like the ring of Extreme Aerobatics.... however that doesn't do much for the name of this site!
I was just going to add that we are NOT trying to rename or relabel this great site Gary. This is just the natural evolution of the terrific conversations, blogs, tutorials and more that have been generated because of this site! There wouldn't be Extreme Aerobatics without 3D and there wouldn't be 3DRCF without 3D. If 3DRCF had a daughter who "married" Extreme Aerobatics she'd still be a 3DRCF right? Not my best analogy but you get the gist.
"X" actly! I think XA or extreme aerobatics is easier for the "non 3D" crowd to envision. You know how some folks say "3D" like they should whisper it or wash their mouths out after saying it? Extreme Aerobatics or XA or EA describes the whole story not just that "crazy 3D stuff". "Well, if its aerobatics it must be ok, I do aerobatics with my sport plane or warbird"! Lol
I know! I was just adding some jest into the conversation. I honestly hope to have some time this next year to devote to adding more deliberate actions (read: precision) into my flying. Just look at one of my favorite pilots fly, and you can see the effect that all his pattern competitions have played into his flying style and skill:

I really like this video and think is showcases what we are talking about perfectly.
