Your statement above reminds me of that great video of Hoover doing
aerobatics in with power off. What a pilot huh?

Yes, absolutely. Bob was a joy to watch. He didn't believe all of this
crap about needing power to do stuff, even in fairly high performance
airplanes. He just went out and did it. Energy is energy, doesn't
matter if it is provided by the engine(s) or by airspeed or by altitude.
All can be used to achieve the desired outcome.
