| WOW...never seen anything like that before, bloody impressive! im amazed how well the plane handles, and the moves timed to the music is something else!
Im guessing it must take years of practice to do stuff like that.
I've watched this a good few times now and im still speechless lol i never knew it was possible to control an r/c plane like that!
Great video! thanks for posting it

Brilliant Magpie, thanks for the link. I didn't realise how big it was until the end, I thought it was a very small model for some reason or other.
Superb flying and an incredible level of control. | |

| Stupendous and skillful flying,these models have a remarkable power to weight ratio,the size of the room was not that large either,electrics are the way forward.

| ***They will hover easily especially this type of model,it is called prop hanging,you just go into a steep climb and slam on the power,it then becomes a helicopter,they are so light these type of models and heaps of fun,the way he circles like that is very skillful in such a small place,once again made possible with small cobalt motors and lithium lightweight batteries.

| Excellent piece of flying that....If that was indoors, You can just imagine what he can do outdoors with more space....!!! That would be an even more awesome display.
