Pretty amazing. You obviously can't stall that airplane. With its nose up,
it essentially becomes a helicopter. Can any real-life high-performers do
that?

Pointing straight up and acting like a helicopter has been done by a
full-size
acrobatic plane at airshows.

Have you guys seen this one? (R/C helicopter)
It's a little slow at first, but by the end...

Reminds me of my first lesson in a C-152. I might have overcontrolled a wee
bit.

That is the most incredible RC video I have ever seen, bar none...
Jay, you should consider putting that on your Web Pages. I know you have
nothing like it, but WoW!!!
I don't understand how a RC heli can do some of the things it does. For an
example, knife edge hovering? How can the blades possibly provide lift in
the horizontal vector? Beyond me!

And the link could have looked like this if you just use the link they offer

What was the cause of the crash?

Catastrophic engine failure shortly after takeoff. An oil line wasn't
sufficiently tightened after maintenance and it shook loose. The engine seized
shortly afterwards.

Thanks a bunch for this, Gatt. Awesome.
Can a real chopper be built to do the same things too?

only if you can make a 2000hp engine weigh as much as a 45hp
hence the reasons they can make just about any of the RC planes do knife
edge, hammerheads, etc

It was already broke by then so no need to break it further.

Guessed so. Mostly to do with the power-to-weight ratio. Should at all
nuclear-powered engines become an option in the future, you might just
see one such. From what I hear (in power stations), they have a
impressively high p/w. But then there are the dreadful environmental
side-effects...

I think there was in the early days a plan for a nuclear powered
missile (which never got off the drawing board). Apparently, it was to
be unshielded - and merely flying the missile over enemy territory for
long enough was enough to kill everyone.

nuke powered plane. Google "project crowbar" I believe.
biggest issues, takeoff and landing sites and suicide crews. contemplated
robotic flights but still could not find a place to launch from with
radiation leaking out at max thrust on takeoff
