Your standard Air Hog type rc plane can’t really do much but fly around in circles. They simply don’t have the power to do rolls and loops. For more true to life flying you’ll have to go with a gas powered plane.

I have both elec and fuel planes, the electric one I have is not good at much, other than turns, climb/decent. It was in the $ range you mention. If you want acrobatics, go with a fueled plane, they have the power. They do cost a bit mroe, but you’ll find what your looking for with them.

Yes it will do a few things. While flying straight and level lower your nose slightly to pick up some speed and then gently pull it all the way back for a loop. Secondly try rolling to wings level at the top of the loop (either with ailerons or rudder).
Thirdly climb to a safe altitude and raise your nose and chop power. When she stalls, apply any rudder and she will spin. To recover, neutralise controls lower the nose and open up the throttle. Try variations and you will have lots of fun. Happy landings.
