Knife edge is not great because of the small fuse so it has to be done at high speed.
It's more gentle than the full aerobatic airplanes obviously thanks to the big wing and load wing loading.
Thank you for your comments Xavier.... if I'm not mistaken, that looks like a Tiger 1 (aka Sky Tiger)? Beautiful airplane, I hope it is still flying well. Thank you as well for your comments on its limitations to knife edge attitude. If I can keep it steady for a few seconds to do a 4-point roll, I will be happy. Cheers!
