OK here is a setup - remember you drop the wing loading to zip -then add 2-1 power capabilities -the result is a model which will fly at about any attitude.
the SPEED is so low and the angles of flight are so high that flight is basically thrust with guidance by the ailerons etc..

I'm sorry, I know this post has been out there a while but I just have to say something here.
If the wing loading is zip, then the weight is zip. Then how do you calculate a 2:1 power to weight ratio? An engine capable of ANY thrust would result in an INFINITE power to weight ratio, which is meaningless. The reference to a 2:1 power to weight ratio on a weighless aircraft is nonsense.
