Totally OT, (Model Airplane) But Amazing!

Apparently nobody told this guy it was impossible so he just went ahead and did it: A full aerobatic routine, in a basketball court with a low ceiling, using an electric airplane. (A knife-edged inside- outside square figure eight performed at waist height? Give me a break!!)

I used to be an R/C flight instructor, but this would probably have caused me to quit the hobby if I were still in it.

Thanks. I few an R/C plane for a year or so and know first hand: Its not easy! That sure looked easy for him.

I used to do u-control. Did full aerobatic with several planes. The slower planes mad things easy and it was very possible to do a full cloverleaf either way within an 8' ceiling. Scary but quite doable.

You certainly have to be good at keeping track of your lefts, rights, ups and downs on the joystick when doing that.
