There has to be enough power to make a big round loop, all these commands reversing etc, meaning more flight time is needed, just that, but with no power, there will be no explanation which can fix the loop. And try to not use the rudder on the first loops, it will make it easier, if someone can not make a round loop, will hardly be able to control rudder to maintain flight path.

Again, just make it smaller, relax elevator on top (NOT pushing!!) and upon power reduction let the airplane make the arc down, then just follow that arc with elevator.

Ye Alejandro, that's exactly what I think as well.

On a side note Alejandro, my Camodel carbon spinners turned up, but I haven't had a chance to try them yet. I also have some Phileppe Marquette carbon spinners that are specifically designed for use with YS's and weigh 42 grams.
