A lot.
Pretty much all basic aerobatics, including, but not limited to:
Inverted flight, loops, bunts, rolls, barrel rolls,slow rolls, 2&4 point rolls, stall turns.
Further it'll do combinations of the above, like Cuban eights, Immelmans and reversals.
With a rearward CG and large throws you'll probably be able to do snap rolls and spin as well. Sustained knife edge might be tricky - try it when you feel confident with flying with the plane in strange attitudes.

Is this just me, or should u learn how to fly first?? Flying is much harder than it looks, im just getting the hang of it and im on my 3rd plane. Learning by yourself is preety damn hard so i wouldnt recomend doing it. If you have never flown a plane look at the FireBird XL or Hobbico SuperStar EP ARF.

I think that I have to agree that SuperStar is a plane that you need to have an instructor by your side although it is an indeed excellent trainer!
I own a SuperStar with OS46FX for about a year and a half and on my first flights the instructor was more than necessary!!!

Definitely DO NOT try to start out with this as your first plane. At least not without an instructor.
You won't fly it for more than 15 to 30 seconds (at best) before you crash it. Rebuilding will take time, and I doubt you'll learn to fly before it's destroyed.
Do a "Search" here for trainers. You'll save yourself a LOT of money and frustration.
