I love aerobatics so i'm usually balls to the wall
Ahem, that is pylon racing.

Since much acro involves the use of the rudder, speed control is critical. The rudder is most effective when the aircraft is slooooow.

12 to 14 minutes.
ok i can see the point yall r trying to make. my electric is a little underpowered so when i say WOT its not like its fast speed. probably half throttle on my CAP would equal WOT on the electric. if i was wide open on the cap flying straight and level then pulled full up elevator at top speed it would probably rip the wings off...but not on my electric. i could input any control combo at full speed and it would hold up the the G's. i like seeing how crazy i can make it tumble and flip...but im sure the CAP wont be done the same. of course its always fun to do low high-speed fly by's in knife edge at WOT but apparently u dont need it wide open doing normal aerobatics.
