I gave up on my crusade:
Planes are
aerobatic, not acrobatic.
ANY model that can take-off is "3-D Capable". Some with enough thrust to weight are capable of sustained high-alpha maneuvers. And most of these are like parking in the lane of a highway. Take it off the runway!
To call glow-fuel "Nitro" is like calling gasoline "Octane" or just "Oct" (it's just a small percentage of the mixture).
It's a lost cause.
