Peter,
It takes alot of forward speed to complete a hard-banked turn, fly forward at a high rate of speed, decide which direction your gonna turn, roll cyclic quickly left or right, when the heli rolls 90 degrees, pull back on the cyclic & throttle up (hard-bank), then quicky roll the cyclic back so the heli is level again. If you forget to throttle up or give back cyclic during the hard-bank, the rotors will lose headspeed & you'll fall.
Thanks shadow, that is what I was doing - maybe not quick enough on the "roll the cyclic back so the heli is level again." bit. I have heaps enough FF speed to complete it usually (the wall marks at the end of the basketball court will testify to this
) - and am trying to do LEFT banks - but twice have just failed somewhere. Sorry, I don't have a video camera.
Reading your words again, what do you mean by "...or give back cyclic during the hard-bank...".
I think that I am doing the correct things now - just can't quite get there! Man that's frustrating![:@] Another Airy blade snapped off at the root!
Peter
UPDATE: I did ONE just fine then! yaaaaay - thanks heaps man - you're the greatest!
