Thanks! It was a really cool model.

For the most part, I agree.

Because the full-size weighs more and is traveling at a higher speed, it will carry a lot more inertia through the manuevers. So, even though the full-size appears to be flying slowly, it is able to carry more energy through the manuevers.

This visual effect can be duplicated, but it takes a lot of extra work on the part of the pilot and the model needs to be overpowered so that the excess engine thrust can make up for the lack of inertia in vertical manuevers like loops.
