Half-scale Fokker Dr.I

This guy is a very accomplished pilot. During the course of the performance, he demonstrates all of the combat aerobatic maneuvers which were developed during World War I: Immelmann turn, hammerhead stall, barrel roll, yo-yo turn, inside loop, side-slip and more. That's not easy to do with a r/c plane this size, especially as close to the ground as he's flying.

What that really shows is the sheer manuverability of the old bi/tri-planes and the giant balls those guys had to climb in and fly those things. Yea, there is something cool about the blue angels flying 15 feet off the deck at sub-sonic speed, but that was way cooler.
