I dont know if this has been posted before but thought this was an awesome clip from Curtis' Auto Training video, a full blade stop auto from the clouds!

I would recommend checking the whole video as he explains how to do pretty much every auto. Not sure of the link.

I wish it had been around when I started.

Gotta say I have seen Richie perform some outstanding autos. Can't remember him ever doing a blade stop though. Have you done any Rich?
Ade.

I have seen many pilots claiming they have done bladestops.

A bladestop is literally that.!!!!

Not slowed down and still rotating but stopped as Curtis did in the video.

Anything other than a total stop doesn't count IMO.

Yup and a perfect end to a perfect day as well m8e .. well the food at the pub was ... but for the flying it was

Nope not a 'proper' blade stop". I'm sure I could do them, but it's a big risk

Then again blade stops are not the most challenging type of auto so I'm not that bothered. Landing on a table and performing a celebratory gay leg flick takes a lot more doing.

Maybe we should do another auto challenge? Anyone up for suggestions?
