Amazing..!
But lets just say I wouldnt want my son or my dad to these kinds of dangerous stuff! The amount of smoke etc coming out of engine makes it seem like its bound to go wrong.

haha nice moves. With stunts like that, people wouldn't know something was going wrong until he hit the ground.

#6 that's 320bhp @ 2850rpm's... not 6000+
Propeller aircraft need to make power at lower rpm's. If the prop spins too fast the aircraft loses power.
#9 You are right, the smoke is there for show but it is not an additive that is ran through engine. Smoke canisters are used in airshow aircraft that are usually located in the rear of the plane and can be turned on and off at will.
