My First Attempts at Flipping [Video]

Went out to do some flying this afternoon with my Blade 180QX. I'd done about 12-14 flights and figured it was time to attempt some flips. Put together a little video.

I've noticed, this thing being so small, that I have a tendency to get anxious following through a long sweeping turn, and tend to over-apply rudder to move back toward me. This looks like a tightening turn with a stop in the video. You'll see it. It's more apparent when viewing video of my flights than it is when I'm doing it. Oddly, it feels more natural for me to turn left, but my right turns I tend to follow all the way through. Any advice? Anyway, I'm rambling... enjoy.

That is great stuff SilentGloves. The main thing is you had a blast and that is all that counts. The rest is just perfecting your flips and maneuvers.

Thanks for sharing.
