I should try the 3d without landing gear, the rubber bands give out almost every time and i just have it to soften crashes and bc it looks a little cool

Unless the wing is on the bottom, belly landing done well just makes the belly dirty, done not well sometimes breaks a rubber band or two, but mostly you can just toss it again without any changes. If your landings keep breaking rubberbands, maybe you have old small rubberbands. For large wings you want #62 or 64, for wings under 4 inch chord you use the #32. All the stationary stores carry these sizes, but you need to check that they haven't aged out and gotten fragile (definitely check them if you live in a major city [ozone attacks rubber])

@Quackerhonk:
Suggest you look at FT"s Halloween at Edgewater video from time of 5:55 to 8:33 and I give a thumb's up for those 3D planes.

This model came out 20 plus years ago. Used FFF and it locks in nice with some small changes I added.
1) When doing knife edges, made the area above the wing (fuselage) equal to area below reducing the coupling effect especially going from left to right.
2) Next used 3 servos(reduce weight) rather than four.
3) In nose, made a wider area so tail end received more prop flow when hovering.
4) Increased prop diameter by 1" and when nosed down, acted much like a brake.

Those are well designed.
