Ferndale,
I came really close to getting a loop yesterday with my stock AA. Here's how I did it. I set the trim adjust all the way left because my AA has a tendency to turn left if the trim was centered, this allows me to turn very fast. I had about a 5 mph wind and I hover in it holding the stick to the right to keep it level. When I'm ready, I snap the stick left and she makes a snap turn 180 degree and go full throttle with the wind to get as much speed as I can. (the turn makes it nose down so full throttle brings it back level and moving pretty well) I then gradually made a 90 degree left turn to try to keep my momentum so I'm now running parallel with the wind and about 1/4 power. Snap left turn into the wind and full power. I tried this several times, and on my best attempt I swear she got her nose over but lost all her momentum and the nose came back down... Maybe with a little more wind I coulda had the extra umph I needed to get her around, maybe a bigger wing woulda done it too, who knows. I think that this way will definately work, it's just a matter of tweaking and time.
