A while back, someone posted a link to a airshow website. The site had videos of a full-scale biplane doing some extreme airobatics(3D). I can't find my way back and thought someone might be able to help. Thanks.

His name is Jim Leroy, not Mike. Also check out Kirby Chambliss (flies an Edge 540) - both guys do things you wouldn't think a full scale airplane would do! Both can TR for a long time, Kirby does tighter waterfalls than many R/C planes I've seen (!), and Jim does a long high alpha KE about 10' off the deck. If you EVER get a chance to see either one in real-life, definately go. It's awesome!

WOW!
Some of his pull outs must have been at least 6G! One thing i think most people don't realise is just how different Aerobatics in the full size is to R/C.I have tried both and I had no idea of the amount of g-force the pilot had to whithstand doing a tight loop at 120 Kts before i did one myself. All the rides at the themeparks claim falsely to be 4-7 G but it is total rubbish once you have done a loop in a plane at 4G. The force at the themeparks are no way near the same same level. The strain of flying violent aerobatics in the full size is incredible. How those guys do it I just don't know.

I will say that he was not 3 mistakes high.
He would be lucky landing in once piece after the first mistake!
Impressive as hell though!
