Could he end the flight by catching it in his hand? That would have been the ultimate finish.

My understanding is that, when a model is called a "3D" model it means the propeller's thrust at full throttle is greater than the weight of the aircraft.
Many kinds of flight stabilization equipment is now available for model planes such as this. A rate gyro can be wired into the aileron's, rudder's, or elevator's, (or various combinations) servo circuit to allow for more stable flight control and precise aerobatics.
Almost like putting the BSA from a PT inside...
