Don't know if this has hit the List previously, but it's an awesome example of complete control. I'm especially impressed with the knife-edge flight; the fuselage is flat, but the rudder is small; very little area to produce lift. Doubt if a Kolb could come close to these maneuvers, and I hope no one ever tries. But has anyone ever rolled a Kolb? Done any (deliberate) unusual-attitude flying?I'm NOT suggesting anyone tries!

Many people have looped and rolled Kolbs. Of course with a model like in your video, with the insane power to weight ratio and absurdly low Reynolds numbers, and no pilot to endure the g-loading, you can get away with a lot more.

BTW, I recently bought an old shack in FL. I might get to the Sebring LSA event next season.
-I doubt I'll do sun-n-fun again.
