The aircraft looks like an amazing model - but whats up with the pilot?

Who wants to see a B29 doing inverted loops? It looses a bit of the scale look. Maybe he should stick with larger scale fighter aircraft if he wants to stunt them about.

Alan,they get carried away,the model is spectacular enough without needing to do daft things like this,that is some model,one of many B-29's built in model form including some for 'Empires of the sun'.

I completely agree, the slow, scale banking turns looked superb as befitting such a model but inverted passes and outside loops should be left to the fighters. They spoilt the whole affect of the flight for me.

Look at any scale championship entries and the biggest bonus goes for scale flight pattern,if he did that in front of the judges then it would not go down well and do himself no favours.
