Aerobatic 3D Contest > Piro 8's

I have piro hover down pretty good, upright and inverted, at about 360 degrees a second, piro flips are comning along slowly, but I wanted to start doing piro 8's and for some reason I'm having the most trouble with this. It seems that with the hover and flips you are correcting more so than driving. I have seen several top pilots doing figure 8's and like everything else it looks to be easy. Do you stir the inputs like the piro flips or do you pause at different position during the 8 to let the heli make the turns. It seems that if I stir the inputs I can get a circle some what but I can't stop and make the turn needed. Anyone have any ideas how to make this make sense.

Thanks

Just do circles in all orientations each direction then transition from one orientation to another again each direction through all orientations until you can control it while continuously pirouetting - The end result will be tiny stirs and corrections at the same time and changing the sync of the stir to change travel directions

SOB!!!

I thought piro flips were a pain, trying to do a even figure 8 in control is like holding a rattle snake, once you got it you don't know what to do with it. It seems that once I get it going with CW stirs, I have to go back CCW to keep it out of the dirt, or something like that. Hell I'm as confused now as I was 2 weeks ago.

Just tiny stirs, more of a feeling than actual stick movement. Keep well synchronised, practice transitions, continuous piro circles (CW & CCW). You may find it harder one way than the other so extra practice required but you'll soon pickup the feeling for lead or lag on the stir depending whether your steering CW or CCW.
Also try piro loops because it's all dealing with the same kind of issues. Once you have all that down pat, do it all over again with reverse piro. For me, that's very hard because it goes against natural instincts.
