Nice little show-off flight.
In particular, there is a short video showing a Russian pilot after winning a match and is still flying.  He walks around looking down at the ground while doing all sorts of maneuvers- wing overs, loops, figure eights, doing them  overhead, etc.  It is the best showoff I've seen.

Their might be someone doing similar with a bag over their head,  somewhere.

   Back in the late 1960"s ( probably '68 or '69 ) I met up with John Jo who at the time was in the USAF. I don't remember why he was here in Virginia ( I believe he was from Southern California ) but we made a date to meet where we flew at Byrd Airport ( Richmond International, now ). He didn't have any airplanes with him and I took one of my Toothpick's with me for us to fly. This guy fascinated me with his flying skill that I had never seen before or since! From the time I launched the airplane he stood there looking at me with the airplane doing loops, eight's.......you name it he did it. All over the place. With the airplane having a pacifier tank the flight only lasted around 2 1/2 minutes. He said he was a little rusty because he hadn't flown anything for a while. Last time I saw him was at the 1980 AMA Nats in Dayton, Ohio. Any body seen him around lately? Amazing flier!
