CGR, I have the card for the blender too!!! CG of the plane is a must. My best spinning plane is my CG Extra and at over 13 pound with a 68 inch wing I'm not going to bring up anything about wing loading. The CG on this plane is so neutral when you go inverted you almost have to add no down elevator at all. Breath on the stick and the plane moves. My Hots is just OK but it is CGed just a bit more forward then I set up Extras at. The more aft I make it it spins better but that's about it. As it is if the Hots doesn't get away from me a couple times a day it's because I haven't flown it.
I watched some of the video DJ posted, that kid is really good. Young reactions, young eyes and about 10 times more throw then I have ever put into a plane. Sometime I'm going to have to buy a small 3-D plane, an ARF and a cheap one because I know it isn't going to last. I would like to see if I could ever control a plane doing things like that at that speed. I have my doubts. I used to do a nice rolling circle, I used to have a 30 inch waste too!!!
