What's this maneouver called?

[cupracing]

I've heard it's something like a curtis flip but can't find any info anywhere. I've seen the pros do it and I want to learn it. Basically the heli enters fast from left or right and then the heli is suddenly flipped round to stop it dead in the air. Looks mighty impressive IMHO

sound familar?

They can, theyre not that hard.

Basically it is a wall but with a half piro. So you will need a 180 stir on the cyclic front to back plus the addition of a stab of negative

Cheers I will give it a bash

Like Tom said, Its not difficult. Really easy to do up high - its when you try it down low you get nervous and make it look terrible Atleast mine do!

or you end up hitting the deck as that flight did

Nice manoeuvre though, one that I've never seen before. Time to jump onto Phoenix me thinks
