Default RE: Full scale hovering

But did you know that all of the 1:1 pilots got the idea for hovering from a model? Several years ago the IAC had the world competitions here in Oklahoma City. Sean McMurtry was asked to demo the 1:1 routine with his big Extra during the opening ceremonies in a football(US) stadium. He did the pattern and ended with a hovering torque roll. For that he got a standing ovation from the worlds best aerobatic pilots. They've been trying to copy Sean's hovering ever since!
