Welcome back

I started practicing my outside loops from the inverted position. ( to me it's really an inside loop while going the other direction). But fox4evr is right , canopy to the outside of the loop, outside loop.

By doing the outside loop from the inverted position, I make a large loop for the first couple of times just to get an idea of the turning radius. Once I felt comfortable with the loop from the inverted position I would fly normal rotation, get some height and go for the outside loop. It is hard to take your brand new creation and dive toward the ground. I don't know how far off the ground the competition rules say is good for the bottom of a loop, but for me as long as you don't HIT the ground it's a good loop.

I always heard that an inch was as good as a mile.
