| With some strong .. er.. well..
And some effort, one can "almost" loop a CX2!
It actually looks more like a flip than a loop, but it will work.
The only problem with it is that it may kill the heli. If you've not modded the head, the blades will smack together on the pull-out, and it will drop like a rock after that.
Or.. if you get lucky, you may only have the flybar hit the lower blades, and it MAY recover before it hits the ground, provided you have enough altitude.
The trick is just getting enough speed up.
I went for a near dive to get some speed up, then pulled it up.
It won't actually loop, or at least I never got it to. What it did was to pull up into the vertical, and then it kind of fell over on it's back. From there it was just a scramble to get it to recover, and pull out of it. But I made it (once... after the last attempt, I went to the hobby store for parts. hahaha..)
It's amazing how brave you get with a CX2 after flying the 450. 
Helicopters don't fly, they beat the air into submission. |
