Hovering Loops!

[Carl Farrington]

WOW! Today I bit the bullet and tried my first 'manoeuvre! stationary loop -
where you give full forward cyclic and bring in move through positive to
negative pitch!

AND I DID IT! A few times too!

I was so chuffed! It's still only the third time I've been out of the back
garden with my Sceadu! There were a couple of near misses in normal flight
where for some reason I had lost all idea of which way the heli was
facing... (I've got to get over this phenomenon!)

but, wicked! Stationary loops! I actually looked like I could fly!

Can't wait to get a more advanced gyro in there, and sort the top end power
out a bit more.

Would that be a flip.........
