Congratts Spiff!
I remember my first loop, I was flying a Nexus with some sorry excuse servos back then. I got stuck upside down for what seemed like ages, had to roll out so... my first loop was actually an immelman I guess.
I've had some bad crashes the last couple years, I'm hanging on a little too tight lately and just spending time getting smooth and comfortable, also working on full-down autos... which may have saved me some pain in the pocketbook if I'd practiced them earlier.... a word to the wise.
