These aircraft are designed to be flown in the way I describe here. In fact, their great strength, controllability and power combine to enable this type of flight. It’s fair to say that it is the progress in aircraft technology that has ushered in this new, more precise and yes, more violent style of aerobatics.
A good tailslide begins with as much speed as possible and the aircraft pitched as close to a perfect vertical as you can get it. Achieve this with a sight gauge or by looking at the angle between the wing tip and the horizon.
