First loops Finelly!!

First loops Finelly!!
Yup finally, I've started on my loops !!
They were done using a Super Clown from the Dark Side which was given to me by bill. Today was another beautiful day aside from being rather hot.
I also managed some more loops on my Fox powered SC which is doing well so far as well as my 1/2A wildcat. I tried to get the buster up today but was denied by a piece of crud in the spray bar, oh well. The wildcat as usule flew well and managed some maneuvers on it. Once I get used to doing loops I'm going to try and progress to outsides. Anyway enjoy the video from the dark side!

BTW I know it looks like it's hauling but, thats because I didn't check which one of my line reels i picked up and hooked the clown up on 52' lines instead of my 60 footers >_<

Good job. They looked good for your first loops to me. I have not yet gone there, but will definately try this year though.

Good job! Remember to have your back to the wind. I got my first loops on video too, and it was my son on the camera and me yelling at eachother.

Thanks!! It was dead calm so it really didn't matter I was just concentrating on the maneuver trying get a feel for it. The fox ran good today so i ended up burning most of my fuel up for it

Re: First loops Finelly!!
Doing great man! I enjoyed the day, even with my lack of success in keeping these combat engines running. I'll have that straightened out next time. I'm gonna try to get you flying inverted before we do outsides, just to get you accustomed to moving the handle over sideways. I was also impressed with how nice and round your loops were, not that easy with a plane moving at that rate of speed !
