I'd love to see Sean Tucker do a some snap or barrel rolls a few feet off the deck like that! Watching this guy's routine has got my left hand / right hand brain all messed up.

 
How big an engine for a very superior power:weight ratio? Then how beefy the engine mounts and frame to hold that engine for +6/ -4 g? Then how expensive for all that titanium or whatever other magic metal to hold it all together? And don't forget the materials to keep the prop together.

JOOC, how many successive rolls exceeding 420 degrees/sec roll rate could even the most superbly conditioned pilot withstand?

Yeah, physics and scaling will likely keep that kind of 3D flying firmly in the rc relm for the forseeable future.
