It was good to get out on the slope today, a nice 10mph sunny and thermally on the pimple, its been a while. First flight out, OMG wheres the throttle, but soon got back into it was shortly practising my inverted loops with the speedo. Later on had a fly of a friends Skorp with 1/2 load of ballast. Was good, Oh yeah.
Heres the video.
Inverted loops? Do you mean bunts?
No, an inverted loop is different to a bunt. The entry and exit to/from a inverted loop is inverted. The loop is performed upright in the normal manner, hope this makes sense. Inverted loop is a much harder move as it requires tight control of airspeed and good inverted flying skills. You can see on the video that even with an application of up elevator to gain speed, there was not quite enough to get the speedo over the top. Notice how the plane, leaves the loop inverted and i 1/2 roll back to normal flight. The loop is at 1.40. I suppose it could also be called an inverted bunt, as the plane is bunted over the top, rather than looped.
