In full scale they are nice little aerobatic training aircraft and not too expensive to fly. I had a few hours in one before advancing to a Pitts. Full scale version handled pretty nicely.

Because they are cheaper and less expensive to fly and also because they react slower than a plane such as a Pitts they are a good first step into aerobatics. It is easier for the biginning aerobat to keep up with the plane which can be real important considering flying upside down and other "unusual attitudes" isn't normal and must be adapted to. Try to imagine driving your car down the street through traffic while hanging upside down from the seatbelts.

At first a simple loop or snap roll may seem dis-orientating but after enough proper training and practice a 10 turn inverted flat spin becomes fun to fly. Yee-haa!
