just read through the section on loops in ray's book again, I think I stalled it by pulling too much negative too early. Actually I think I've been using way too much negative in my loop attempts. Next weekend "by the book".

Mine is an R50 which I have set for -9/+10. Perhaps setting a flight mode with the lower 1/4 stick dead at around -2 ro -3 will make this easier.

I still remember my first stalled loop....my R50 flying at 4000ft alt (we have less power up here) and I had a 3AH battery strapped to it. Man did that thing stall and it had nothing to do with the sticks. Recovered that one though, she came across the runway at about 90mph only 3 feet off the ground, but she lived.
