Tha Sabre Dance was done a LOOOONNNNG time ago, yes, even before the BiSlob.
Lot's of ot thrust and proper power (or lack of) and it can be done without the 3rd line. I have seen it done with Ringmasters, in fact, there was an article in "American Modeler" years back with ringmasters with clown noses.
You can do the "dance' with almost any airplane.
The first Sabre Dance that I saw was with the "Whichaway" by Walt Williams, but again it was done before that too.
