Most amazing flying I've seen was Schui flying an Ultra Bandit at JetPower 2010. Couldn't believe the violent turns the model could take. I was zoomed out and I STILL couldn't keep up with the direction changes. I couldn't keep the camera steady toward the end of the flight because I was laughing so much.

Think I heard that it had a specially reinforced wing joiner so it could take the punishment.

This one flight was the one moment of inspiration I needed to start flying turbines next year. Can't wait.

(one example of hi G turn at 3:23)

I think that is the most G's I have seen on a model airplane or any plane for that matter. You think it
was in the 30, 40 G range? Idono... Impressive flight.
I am getting into jets also... What a video !!

Cheers
Tim
