Default RE: aerobatics with a trainer

ORIGINAL: Montague
Most trainers don't do outside loops very well. Set up as in the instructions, most will barely hold inverted level flight, never mind turn or pull up while inverted.
Perhaps in the good (?) 'ole days, but most of today's trainers with semi-symmetrical wings will perform inverted flight including outside manoeuvres without even a hiccup. Same as + g flight, power is the only consideration. eg: TWM's superb Sky Raider Mach I and World Star 40 et al trainer designs, Kyosho's Calmato (high wing), Seagull's Boomerang 40 (the flat bottom winged 60 isn't as happy with outsides); Phoenix's ubiquitious but tiny Classic ...etc.etc.
