Now you are wrong for the second time. Really second AND third.
I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised at the KE abilities considering the side area or lack thereof but there it was. Analyzing it later it has to be a function of the extremely large canopy as designed. It is in the right position and it is extensive-----13.125 inches long and about 2.5" tall. Couple that with the four stroke torque and the prop loading and you've got it.
To further impress you with the apparent impossibility, while it takes about 30 to 35* of rudder its alpha is definitely NOT high-----not flat but no where close to high!
As far as posting a video to soothe your feelings forget it as: a) I have no access to a video camera and b) your understanding of wing loading is non existent so why bother.
What you 'buy' is of little interest to me as you have defined yourself pretty well.
Politely, ----- sorry BUT true! ----and I mean each.
