More so when the plane isn't even yours!
As for maneuverability, this one was less maneuverable but that was because of CG setting and control surface throws, nothing to do with the powerplant! :)
In fact it was lighter and more powerful, so we could say it was much more capable in general, depending on how you set it up.
Otherwise, it felt pretty much the same in the air, only much more powerful and you don't actually feel bad with yourself when you throttle up, thinking that you are killing a battery pack.
It also had a bit of a pitch-up thrustline (which the EDF version doesn't) so while not dramatic, it allowed the plane to perform kulbits without thrust vectoring. (The EDF can't, though the right way to achieve this is to install vectored thrust, of course).
The throttle delay in response makes it a bit trickier to fly though, so it's harder to time the throttle for the maneuvers, but you get used to it eventually, I guess. ^^
Plane was overall much faster, retained energy better and could climb forever if you wished so.
Plus, if using the throttle sparingly, you can easily get 6-8min of mixed aerobatic flight, which is totally bonkers. :D

It has been a big week here in the UK as we said goodbye to the Queen. A typical grey September day here in Yorkshire, 3mph wind, maybe not an ideal day for flying or filming a grey plane but here is my maiden flight of of my Belgian Airforce Tiger themed 70mmF16. No trimming was required, first landing a bit hot but I got it slowed down and a bit more nose up for a gentle touch down on the second( why is it that always happens when the camera is not there

Hello James and fellow pilots and Motion RC fans. it's this time of the year again when i try to enter the competition with a humble video from Switzerland. (this time not via support ticket). I hope I can encourage the discussion on the show a bit on "how did he fake it this time" :) enjoy the flight!

Outstanding as usual. The only "somewhat odd" thing I caught was the occasional shadow of the aircraft to the right and below (which lends to the accuracy), implying that the sun is above to the left. But the shadows on the scenery are from the sun directly ahead. So I've concluded that the flight is real and not faked, although you are flying on a planet with 2 suns! Sign me up for a trip!
