Default Cool aerobatic video in a Sukhoi SU-29.

What's the big deal about the video? The pilot was doing sportsman level
acro, which is pretty entry level, and not only that, it looked liked most
of the lines he drew were off. His recoveries on the hammerhead were off
axis, as were the rolls. None of it was very crisp.

Most of the pulls to the vertical were pretty low g and not that sharp. He
didn't load the g before he pulled, and his pulls were pretty lightweight.

If he flew like that in a contest it doesn't look like he would score that
highly. He was flying nowhere near what the plane was capable of doing.
