Please report back and share!

I will do just that if I can crack the code, @ChickenBalls can confirm there was a single KE spin done that day that made not only his head turn but another older 3D junky come to the flight box looking for advice, only issue is I can't get it to repeat! One of those things that come with dumb thumb I guess.

I am going to try to get some flights on tape this summer! I just need to get a camera, figure out how to use it, talk someone into filming me, figure out how to download it, figure out how to post it, sounds fun!!!

I am looking at a different camera. The 720p midland (like a go pro) has great video but if only watched on a HD TV. It also wont zoom. Would like a solo shot though but pricy it is. May just have to hit up the pawn shops and see if there is a JVC or SONY handy cam with 24x zoom.

I once heard that if you gave a monkey a typewriter and enough time that he would eventually write a novel. well I have employed this philosophy to my 3d flying for a couple years now and once in awile I pull off something cool.

@aarestor its no fun to pile up a plane if no one is there to see it. That's way I do as much crazy stuff as I can when there is people around to witness it

I think the only reason I "get the field" is so they all can see me do the "pile drive" maneuver

THe young man was on his game last night, BUT who you calling OLD Bitch? don't make me have @mulehead1969 whoop ya. Remember it took you some time to get the 42, and the 72 to lock in, you'll get it, move Cg back a bit, see if that helps.

I'm a little late to the Pop Top discussion, but I've done then both ways with either left rudder and right aileron, or right rudder and left aileron. I settled on right rudder left aileron because that came a little more natural to me.

One thing I do sometimes is to use left rudder and left aileron. It's not a Pop Top anymore but it looks real cool. With enough speed it does a sort of knife edge spin on the way up.

Do that high speed flying horizontal and you just did a crankshaft!!!!

The best pop top I have done is with the 104. I got real ballsy on my first warm up flight of the day. Of course no vid.

I approached from my left at medium high speed. I was 10 to 15 feet above deck. At about 20 feet out I rolled inverted and then entered a slight up line and immediately jammed sticks up and inward to the center of the radio and then came back to the right aileron. I freaked out! and was going wow! the plane appeared to almost stop and made 2 full yaw revolutions and then I exited it with the plane moderately doing axial roll. This was just above my head and right in front. My buddy could not believe I pulled it off! I do know it inspired him so to get busy on his 91!

Thanks, when you have no one to watch and learn from, you don't know these things! We have one truly bad a$$ 3D pilot at our field, but I'm never there when he is.

Speaking of which, I hope you have the DesMoines Huckfest on your calendar for this Fall!!!!
