My Lord, the torq needed in those servos has to be incredible. I'll post a pretty cool video of some jets doing 3D. Awesome stuff. Thanks for posting OP.

Looks like the engine isn't throttleable - i.e., WOT only until fuel is exhausted.

Also, those loops and split-S's had to be like 15 g's.

Pretty sick.

not at my post...
How the **** do you see where its going.....?

I would bet FPV/POV gear in the plane to fly that. I know I wouldn't be able to see shit if it did not have an FPV setup. The speed and distance that plane can cover is sick, it would be very difficult to see its orientation without FPV.

no fpv on that one....
it's amazing when I started out in rc planes and helis 20 plus years ago how awesome it thought the technology was. it's crazy to think how far the hobby has come in this amount of time.

That camerman.... I've tried to video full size planes at air shows... but this cameraman was spot on through the whole flight.
