you can give full elevator if you do it at the right time. if you are attempting the tightest loop ever, maybe it will snap, but for anything within the realm of imac or 3d, you should not have problems with this model. i don't know why you would want to do a 10 foot loop anyway. caps and giles have this reputation and it is unfounded. these are aerobatic planes, designed to perform beautiful snap rolls and spin entries. if you want a floater, go profile, they have more wing area and less weight. but they do not do awesome snap rolls do they? the showtime is a mix. a mix of pattern and 3d. that is why it rocks.

here is my video with the showtime, http://www.hiddenhangarrc.com/video/ click on "vinnyshowtime"
