Piro Flips made easy

[Tim Procter]

Been posted before and well worth seeing again.

From half flips to full flips with commentary.

A great video IMO.

Piro Flips made easy

Thanks for that Tim, nice to know you do requests

[Jamin_00]

I will get around to trying these one day, thanks for the vid

I take it, its easier to learn the half flip with half piro first to get an idea for the timing then progress it?


Gareth did start to teach me on the sim ages ago but I gave up with the sim too lol.

Piro Flips made easy

I've been attempting them for a while but I just can't seem to centre them I'm all over the sky lol. Personally I find them harder IRL than on sim but that's prob just the fact it will cost if I screw up lol

[Jamin_00]

I imagine thats how it would be for me for some time as I bet the small corrections needed are a lot harder to do than it looks.

Took me two years to get it!

He also did a nice Phoenix sim tutorial for piroflips.

He's broken down the piroflip really well so you can learn in small increments and then eventually put it all together.

Same here Tony, only I had it to learn mode 1.

watching Paul at out club learning piroflips mode 1, it looks harder to keep it fluid as your not stirring and he does his starting from nose in!

Nice vid, not seen that one before. Been doing half piros on the 130x and sim for some time, but transition to the bigger models is going to take some balls (and money!)

Yes, just don't rely on timing, try to fly the heli through maneuver. I'd suggest learning piro hover upside down and right side up first, if you can't do it already.

Mine always climb just before the flip. I need to reduce my collective travel & then I can get them lower & closer. Still having not flown since early Oct I'll be learning all over again.

[KnifeEdge]

i need to learn these. Gonna try and get these sorted on me 400SE

[johnsandywhite]

I started doing them like the Russ Prince video on my Sim. I can do them on all different Helis and different speeds on the Sim. But transferring that to a real Heli was more difficult. I found the TDR could do some nice slow piroflips. The Blade 450X was good at everything but struggled on Piroflips because of it's sensitivity around the centre on Throttle/Pitch. I found it easiest on my Trex 550FBL and beleive it or not Goblin 700. Still all over the sky, but more or less controlled. Learning them makes orientation for many other manouvres that much easier to work out............. Even though I can't do them yet.

Half a a pirouetting flip. Literally the most valuable move you can learn I reckon, leads on to so many different moves and transitions.

I will nail those piro flips this year, so close now, must of been attempting these on the sim for over a year now.
