As you go into the loop and over the top you need to change pitch. If you keep positive pitch at the top your heli is pushing itself down. Enter the loop and as you go up and over gently pull on a little negative pitch and as you come down and back to upright change to positive again. You need to have your throttle curve to a constant and pitch to allow fit negative. Hope this helps. If thus is a fp bird then you can't change pitch do it will always lose altitude.

expo just softens the controls around the centre (usually) so it won't make much difference to a loop, possibly the entry.Are you flying in stunt mode with a linear pitch curve, constant flat line throttle setting and 0 pitch at mid stick?

Yes I only fly in stunt mode with 0 pitch 10% throttle.

The trick to flipping in place is throttle control and timing. Your actual flip rate doesn't matter too much esp given that a D02S is perfectly capable of it. Try making sure that you're at mid stick when the helicopter is vertical. I found that this was the biggest part of getting neat flips. Also, it takes alot less pitch, both cyclic and collective than you think to do a neat loop. |

Another tip is, pull back on the cyclic just a bit to enter the loop, leave the cyclic stick in the same position until the heli has completed the loop, and just concentrate on working the collective. Dusty |

With multiple flips try to pause between them just to allow a little head speed to build back up.
Keep practicing and having fun - that's the important part! |

If i was you I would start by having the helicopter you are flying setup correctly as a cp helicopter.
By having 0 pitch at 10% throttle you have hardly any negative pitch available and will never have tight controlled flips or loops. Not only that but it means your cp heli is not mechanically setup correctly and any settings someone gives you will behave very differently than if they were going to a proper setup heli. You should go back and set your helicopter up proper with 0 pitch at center stick with servo arms as close to horizontal as possible while having a complete linear 0-100% pitch curve. This way your heli will be mechanically setup correct and then you can adjust your pitch curves and they will behave as they should. So after you do that you then correct your normal curve to something like 42-45-50-75-100. You always want 0 pitch at center stick even for normal mode as it will make transition’s easier between modes... Besides you don’t want to ever throttle down in preparation for a crash you want to always be on top of the throttle hold toggle instead for any mode you fly in. Different heli but same idea
Then setup stunt 1 as 0-25-50-75-100 with a flat throttle curve of 80% or higher do the same with stunt 2 except give a full 100% flat curve. BTW dont flip it near your brother’s head.... |

I hoped a 0 was missing from that %

If it was then
1) I wasted my time 2) it should flip quite fast and easy unless his elevator travel is severely impeded. Both of my 120d02s heli’s I have owned flipped very fast at full rates and I can get them on a good battery to flip close to on axis Edit: I just reread the first post and it seems he also keeps his throttle the same during loops which to me also points to not flying the heli like a CP heli in idle up so there is a chance it isnt setup correctly. If it is setup correctly thenit is as easy as he needs to pop in some negative pitch when it falls backwards to catch that egg and it wont fall out of the sky |
