I just found this clip on YouTube of an RV-9 doing loops, rolls, snap roles, hammer heads, point roles, and even inverted flight.

Bill, I've got some R/C time under my belt, I'll bet we could fly something like that out of your "back yard". Hit me up the next time you're on this side of the hillsHas anyone made the leap from full scale flying to one of these? I've been thinking of getting an RC plane to keep at our mountain cabin for those calm mornings when I'm wishing I had my RV close by.
Just like in the 'real' world, I suspect an RV isn't the best beginner plane to jump in to without some transition training, so any recommendations would be appreciated.

Sounds good! If that Champ turns out to be underpowered, I may have the solutionYou are on... But it won't be until sometime in January. We've got a big overseas trip planned over the holidays, but the idea of buying an RC plane to fly around the meadow came to me over Thanksgiving weekend while wishing I had the RV over there on Friday and Saturday.
I went to the hobby shop this evening and think the $90 Champ is a good start. Not too expensive to fix if I auger in, but a good trainer. I killed a good hour flying the RC simulator, which proved that flying an RC plane is pretty **** hard!
