You may be able to do all the flip flop stuff with the prop job, but let me tell you watching the turbines and the prop jobs fly (one after the other) the prop jobs looked like flying pigs compared to the turbines.
At any rate, it was a very worth while drive to see them fly!
How can you sit there honestly and say that? I know you have been around R/C for a long time, but you do realize that a jet has a helluva lot more wingloading than a modern day 2M pattern plane, not to mention most of your garden variety jets can't do what a pattern plane can do. Aerobatics aren't about screaming across the box at 200 mph. One, that defeats the purpose of having a box, and two, how fun is it to see something go fast, in circles for that matter?
I don't see how the zenith of technology can be at least 10-20 years old. I'm scared to see what comes next if that is the case.
