Yeah I talk to Rbort once in awhile. He has quite the set-up. I weigh in at about 17lbs. with a full tank of gas. I fly full scale aerobatics and I know that you can't just pull up and go unlimited vertical in the scale plane. I guess if you want to do that in the scale plane, you would need a 300 hp lycoming engine and I believe most of the aerobatic T-Crafts are running 150 to 180 hp motors. You need to manage airspeed to make it look scale-like. For instance, to do a loop in the full scale version, you dive down at about 1/4 throttle to 145mph, pull up and go full throttle at 45 degrees until 45 degrees inverted, cut the trottle to idle through the bottom of the loop and then come back on the throttle again for the next manuver.
