The speed and authority that the plane pulls out of a hover is PARTIALLY related to choice of prop. For example on my 36% Edge with a DA 100 with a Menz 27 10 it pulls out with a lot of authority, and with a airmodels 25 10 3 it pulls out sluggishly. Other props do everything in between.

As for Unlimited vertical, I have to agree with EXCAP, my Definition of unlimited vertical would be the ability do do a double upline snap FOLLOWED by a four point roll on a 100 degree 100 percent humidity day.

Wen pulling out of a hover you are just pulling the weight straight up, when you are doing snaps etc you are also pulling the drag induced by the maneuvers.
