First loops

[pug907]

Well done mate. You wonder what all the worry and shakes were about once you've done a few, then cockiness ensues hahaha. I spurred my mate into his first loop last weekend, big grins all round. Keep it up mate, always good to hear stories like that.
Cheers,

I went ahead and did loops, flips both forwards and backwards and rolls tonight on my 550. My flips are good now although the rolls are rubbish and my loops need work. Figure of 8s are really good but I can only do them in one direction. I really need to work on the other direction.
Video may follow depending on quality.

Well done mate. I've been forcing myself to do circuits my bad way, very hard to keep doing it though huh? I was getting too cocky last weekend, 3rd attempt at inverted, I did 1/2 a pack, gingerly moving back and forth hahaha. I get the cyclics in inverted, but rudder stuffs me every time at the mo, nose in or tail in. It'll come good. I can do it on the sim?????
Good luck.

I can't do inverted at all and I'm not gonna try (other than sim) for a long time. I just cant get it in my head at all.

did my first loop (trex 450) about 3 weeks ago and do you know it made my knees knock! what a feeling it is to still be achieving aged 45 and a bit

One of the members at our club did his first loop (successfully) last weekend and when he came down he was really shaking with the buzz .... funny to see but feels damn good!!!

Well done on yours ... looking good!

I did my first loop a couple of weeks ago. Only with the 130x but I was shaking and very excited. Not too bad at age of 65.

My heart was racing too believe me. Not the actual doing the manoeuvre but the cost of repairs should it go wrong.
