I don't know if this has been posted before but this is amazing!

I thought I was just gonna see some prop hangs... That was amazing.
Wonder what his power to weight is? Pretty low if not over under 1...

I think everyone should just pack up a go home. Who would follow that act?

That was fantastic! Wonder how long & how many planes it took him to perfect it.

Holy carp!
I'm guessing that plane is the equivalent of putting an F1 engine in a Lotus Elan.

Well, he had to have flown over a marsh or something for practice. Otherwise he has way too much money for replacement planes.

Simulator.
I can fly inverted about a foot off the ground on the Great Planes simulator. Not exactly the same, but pretty close.

I have seen that guy fly before.... He is really good with the small indoor foam 3D planes. Most guys who do those low slow rolling circles learn to do it with relatively inexpensive foam planes indoors (many of which can be crashed repeatedly without breaking anything).

Here he is flying the EPP foam 3DHS Extra indoors.
I built up a few of the same airplanes for me and my buddies... They fly great and take a beating.

It's really neat seeing the 3D stuff out there now. If you want to see something REALLY crazy, check the guys who have traded-in their planks for 3D helos.
