I was thinking today just how awesome it would be to be able to do an outside turn :p

Essentially what I'm thinking of is, instead of leaning the heli into the turn and pulling the frame through the turn by the blades, you would tilt the heli to the outside of the turn and push the frame through by the blades. I know it's not much more than simply doing an upside-down turn, but I think it would look particularly awesome if the only upside-down part was while you were going through the turn :D

So anyone happen to know of a video where someone does something like this? :rolleyes: I think this will be my new longterm flying goal :o ;)

Yeah, there's a bunch of names for it. Pie pan is one I think, but here:

Hey,

Are you talking about the "Pie Dish"? 'Cause that's not quite right... Looks like the tail is pointed down:

Yeah. I looked at that one. But, that's a continuous turn. I was just talking about using it to do a 180 :rolleyes:

Eh, Same diff. :p

When I get my heli back up I'll try doing it.
