No, I'm fully aware of the limitations a WWI warbird has (Hey, I saw Flyboys ). But even real WWI birds could do wingovers, barrel rolls and loops. Right now this plane has just enough power to takeoff and fly around in circles. Even trying to do a vertical movement off a dive doesn't work. The plane has so much drag it really doesn't pick up speed in a dive. I think it's mostly just a tuning problem with the correct prop so I can get a bit more vertical pull. Right now, if I got to a 45-60 degree upline she quits somewhere around 50-75 feet.
