🔥 Pilot Spotlight: Jase Dussia – Setting the Bar for 3D RC Flight
When it comes to extreme 3D RC flying, there’s a short list of names that instantly command respect—and at the very top of that list is Jase Dussia. For many in the RC community, he’s not just a standout pilot—he’s the standard by which all others are measured.
Whether you’re watching from the flight line or through the screen of a phone on YouTube, when Jase takes the sticks, time seems to pause. What he does with an airplane defies not only physics but logic—and yet, somehow, it looks smooth, intentional, and effortless. It’s no exaggeration to say that Jase is most likely the best 3D pilot in the United States, and quite possibly, the best in the world.
From Extreme Flight to Flex Innovations
Jase first exploded onto the scene as a young phenom flying for Team Extreme Flight, where his fearless low-and-slow routines made him a crowd favorite at every major fly-in across the country. Flying everything from 48” foamies to 120” gas giants, he consistently pushed the limits of what we thought was possible in freestyle RC flight.
In recent years, Jase has made a new home flying Flex Innovations aircraft, and the transition has been seamless. Whether he’s flying the QQ Extra 300 or tearing it up with the RV-8 Night, he brings the same crisp precision and high-energy performance that has defined his flying style since day one. His Flex aircraft seem like extensions of his will—responsive, sharp, and always dialed-in.
Precision, Power, and Style
What makes Jase so dominant isn’t just his talent—it’s the way he blends aggression with precision, chaos with control. One second his plane is in a high-speed KE spin just inches off the deck, and the next it’s hovering motionless, tail barely kissing the ground. He has an uncanny ability to fly as though gravity doesn’t apply to him.
Watch any of his routines and you’ll see:
- Perfect knife-edge passes that skim the grass
- Pop-top snaps that break the laws of aerodynamics
- Low hovers that look like the plane is nailed to an invisible post
- Smooth, connected maneuvers that flow like choreography
This isn’t just wild stick-banging. This is art in motion—and no one paints the sky quite like Jase Dussia.
The Pilot’s Pilot
Even among other elite RC pilots, Jase stands out. He’s the one they stop to watch. The one they want to learn from. He’s become not just a performer, but a benchmark, a teacher, and a role model in the 3D community.
You’ll catch him at events like Joe Nall Week, The Donnie G Fly-In, and XFC (Extreme Flight Championships), putting on performances that leave the crowd stunned and the judges struggling to keep up.
Why He Inspires Us
Jase’s dedication to the craft, his humility in the pits, and his willingness to push boundaries have made him a legend in our world. For pilots young and old, watching Jase fly is both a thrill and an inspiration—a reminder of what’s possible with passion, time, and a relentless drive to improve.
At Southern 3D, we’re proud to feature pilots like Jase who represent the very best of our hobby. Whether you’re a seasoned flyer or just getting started, watching him fly reminds us all why we fell in love with RC in the first place.
Watch Jase In Action

Search his name. Watch his flights. Then get to the field and practice—because the bar is high, and Jase Dussia set it there.
Currently, Jase does not have a personal line of RC planes for sale under his own brand. However, his design influence is evident in models produced by companies he collaborates with, like Flex Innovations. These aircraft, shaped by his expertise, are available through the respective manufacturers.
On a personal note, I’m a fan of Jase’s work. I once acquired one of his signature aircraft and had the opportunity to have him sign it—a cherished item in my collection.
