Here's a boomerang XL powered by #001 K-170, had a ton of fun over at Camp Pendleton this last Saturday, comes in slow at idle, pull up 90 degrees then apply full throttle and watch it go vertical, unlimited

So the boomer is just about stalled,with the nose pointing vertical, before applying full throttle ? with the best will in the world, spool up time is 4 seconds, thats one impressive tail slide.
How does one "just about stalled" an aircraft at idle and still be able to pull and point the nose up vertical is beyond me...
Can't imagine the best of 3D foamies to do that without some propwash over the surfaces.

Obviously you exaggerated my entry speed and AOA

Thanks for reading though,

Cheers,
