RE: Hots Performance
This plane was developed as a fun-fly machine. and can easily be turned into a 3d `er by simply enlarging the control surfaces slightly. 10-15 percent should be adequate. I used to find that the rudder was too tall during low inverted passes down the runway and had to grind it down a bit using the pavement.
This plane is much better suited for 3d than a Lancair...
With the right thumbs. a "Hots" can do about every 3d maneuver in the book.
