I've seen Joe Kirn fly a pretty good Old Time Stunt Pattern with monoline. I have a couple of articles on tethered RC flying. The major advantage to tethering an RC airplane is to keep it in a proscribed area, I would think. I've been told of someone flying the AMA stunt pattern with an RC airplane, untethered.
Hehehehe......
I do that all the time. Being an old stunt competitor, doing them with R/C planes just seemed "right". And you oughta hear the spectators gasp. I figure they were designed to be close to the ground, so they are. Of course, no need to go for five feet. I don't have an R/C bird that could do the corners needed for that anyway.
Oughta post the video of it someday.
BTW, I don't do the two laps of level flight between maneuvers. Figured the first lap would take out one of the trucks in the parking area......
