Now this is piloting...

Can a real chopper be built to do the same things too?

Yes but only Americans' can afford it...

So it is. That's the Lance I crashed back in 1988. Damn near killed me.

only if you can make a 2000hp engine weigh as much as a 45hp

hence the reasons they can make just about any of the RC planes do knife
edge, hammerheads, etc

It was already broke by then so no need to break it further.

Guessed so. Mostly to do with the power-to-weight ratio. Should at all
nuclear-powered engines become an option in the future, you might just
see one such. From what I hear (in power stations), they have a
impressively high p/w. But then there are the dreadful environmental
side-effects...

I think there was in the early days a plan for a nuclear powered
missile (which never got off the drawing board). Apparently, it was to
be unshielded - and merely flying the missile over enemy territory for
long enough was enough to kill everyone.

nuke powered plane. Google "project crowbar" I believe.

biggest issues, takeoff and landing sites and suicide crews. contemplated
robotic flights but still could not find a place to launch from with
radiation leaking out at max thrust on takeoff
