Aerobatics with radio-controlled model aircraft is challenging in more ways than one.
For one, it requires extensive technical skills and great care when installing the radio control and mechanical transmission to the aircraft's control surfaces.

The second major challenge is flying itself: aerobatics is an extremely demanding sport requiring high levels of concentration!
