Default RE: Did my first loop today. WOOOOOOOO!

Congrats on your first loop. It feels grerat doesn't it?

My first loop was in a Raptor 30 V1. I had recently changed from 15% nitro to 30% nitro and I was full of confidence with the newly aquired power. The TT36 was being a good engine (although the bad rep). I climbed fairly high and dove at about 45 degrees to gain speed. I pulled aft cyclic and slightly lowered the pitch at the top. It came out tight, but perfectly round! A few club members were present and not all of them saw the maneuver so they ask me to do it again. Up I go and tried to do the same, apparently I did something different, becasue this time it looked like a 9 and nosed into the dirt.

Continue developing your technique and combine other maneuvers with a loop and you will soon be 3Ding with the rest of them.
