For those who aren't aware, the Chandelle originated as a WW1 dogfighting
manuever to shake a following combatant by out-turning and out-climbing.
Works in box canyons too.

the Chandelle (now THAT'S a VALUABLE maneuver to have in your pilot
'toolbox'),,

needed
to
perform a chandelle are useful, but that's just a matter of skill and
control
feel. The chandelle itself? Tell me.
