Default RE: First Forward Flight >>> CPV3

I made an attempt to loop the CPV3 this week which wasn't successful.
It was a little breezy and I had a hard time keeping it straight going into
the wind. On the first attempt it just raised up a couple of feet and flipped
over on it back. I managed to get it right side up in a short time so
everything was ok again. On the second attempt it looked like it was
going to do the same thing so I pushed the stick forward to get out
of it real quick. Don't think it had enough speed. Not sure I had it at
full throttle. I'll try again on a calmer day and make sure it's at full
throttle for max speed and lift.
