I went through 4 packs this morning doing loops. They are easier to do than you think.
I did some passes to get my height and speed about right. Then next time around just pulled back on the stick. I reduce the pitch a little at the top, no begative pitch, just a little less thereof, then pull back a little more on the right stick as you come around. VOILA.
If my approach is not right in tems of heading and height then I cancel teh loop and go around againfor another try.
You don't neet a heck of a lot of forward speed. I also did a few loops just pulling back on the stick and not touching the pitch at all and they worked fine to.
Rolls are next...
