If start trying some of those flight maneuvers I think we'd need a garbage bucket, not a bag. ;-)

Going inverted is easy, its the getting it upright again that's the hard part :-)

There is no one that can outfly warthox, he is a robot.
It pretty impressive when you consider none of the inverted stuff is managed by the flight controller. Its a normal controller, he is just managing the motor direction much like a CP heli with neutral and center stick. And using his custom made props which are basically normal CF props he flattened so they would run better in reverse.
