As I said in a different post.. there are no stupid questions. So, ask away!!


So to answer your question, absolutely. It often comes down to the degree of finesse with the person holding the box. Most RC aircraft will do aerobatics. For instance, I have a Tiger 60 with a Super Tigre 75 engine. This is often considered an entry level low-wing sport plane with adequate power. However, with that said, the Sportsman class Pattern Competition is filled with people flying such planes. They will do just about all of the requred maneuvers for all the way up to the Master class, with the possible exception of snap rolls.

But all in all, the Tiger 60 (for instance.. there are many MANY others like the CG Four Star 40 and 60 planes, and Midwest Aerobat and I know others will add to that list which can and will grow very long) will do all of the aerobatic maneuvers, and I might add, very well too!

My instructor, who is a Master Class Pattern flyer usually helps me maiden fly my planes after I build them. He takes them to the air, trims them out, lands if necessary (for needed adjustments) then goes into his pattern routine 'just to shake things out'. But the point here is that he can do most of his routine (with exceptions.. power restrictions for vertical flight, and snap rolls, and so on) very nicely. Then he (his thing) judges the plane accordingly.. like 'Sweet' or it's ok.. or other comments. Usually in a constructive manner. He never said that about the Tiger 60 nor the about the Four Star 40. Both did very well during his flight.

So, the short answer to your question is, of course, a resounding YES! Most will do aerobatic stuff. Some, however, may not do them as well as others. Even trainers are capable of some aerobatic maneuvers.
