How can I tell if my loops are perfect

Ask Dudley for technique, but as for the physics: a perfect loop would
have a constant acceleration.


Only in zero G.


And only if speed is constant.

It's very simple to do this. Simply incline the loop 90 degrees from
the axis you were thinking of. This has another name - a 360 degree
turn. ;-)
