First loops and roll

[liaan]

HEEEHAAAAAAAAAAA

just did my first loops, and standing role... wind way to strong to attempt any forward flight roles :lol:

was practicing stall turns and said, the hell with it, and kept the back cycling in...

thumbs went in to auto mode, to much sym flying... .. and negative on inverted section and pull out... rolls was much easier.. yank right, and over she goes, no drop in altitude nothing.. agian.. to much sym flying:lol::lol:

now quick question.... why would it pull up smooth until inverted, and almost hang there, and almost flip the last part? the wind was about 30km/h (+-20mph).. could this cause it?


safe flying

20mph winds for your first roll? Whoa... see in your profile and assume this was with a mini titan? Well yeah I think wind has something to do with what you are describing, but I don't ever fly my mt in that kind of wind, have a hard enough time when there is no wind :) Great job and congrats on your first loops/rolls!

Now try it on a calm day in ff, I think you'll find it much easier & safer :)

Wow. Well maybe not for that part of the world, but mighty strong winds for a lil heli to battle.... at least too strong for my comfort level with my stupid thumbs :)

Hope you get some calm days soon, once again congrats!
