So you can do all of that will your real plane?

and what happens when you bounce your elevator on the ground like in the video?


electric or glow?
LOL, yes I can do all of that with a real plane. .. I figured someone would ask eventually. And no, I do NOT bounce the elevator on the ground. In high alpha rolling maneuvers like a rolling harrier I will come down to about 2-4' in real life. Thats about as low as I dare with my 35% plane, too much risk of the ground reaching out and grabbing me if I go any lower. With high speed slow/point rolls I keep the fuselage about 10 above the deck becaise things are happening so fast. I will hover and torque roll right down on the deck but I stop before the tail touches, again too much risk. Its not really a bg deal one muscle memory and 50 bozillion reps take over. Now I just have to clean it up and make it look cleaner.

Heres a couple of pics that are about 2 months old.
