Interesting. I din't think of that possibility, but it makes a sort of
sense.

Joe Sixpack may be an even smaller bit player than I supposed...

The thing is that RC models do those "3D" routines where they hover and even lower the tail down to the ground, and then
do insane acceleration and rolling and turning. The latest generation of airshow pilot seems to want to mimic that sort
of performance. Pretty amazing to see a Pitts derivative plane break ground and go right in to climbing knife edge
flight. Just as amazing is seeing a Stearman breaking ground and then do a slow roll. I think these folks are doing the
show for the pilots in the crowd. Joe 6pack wants to see the heavy metal and shockwave truck...
