closest I can get you is a RC heli doing stuff like that. I dont think a
full sized heli can try it without having a boom strike . --Unstable "niceguy" wrote in news:46a8ae6a$0$4673 : Is there a video of a helo doing an outside loop? |

I am thinking that Army tried it with a test bed AH-64 at Edwards AFB back about a long time ago. I heard that a guy tried it with an AH1 out of the MACSOG field at Marble Mountain -- he was right over the bay at Da Nang. The rotor impacted the tail rotor; autorotation into the bay followed and eventually he went back to civilian life where he belonged. This is anecdotal however, one of those stories that I remember hearing in the club -- prefaced by "Now this is No ****". YMMV Dave There are Old Pilots and Bold Pilots, but there are NO Old, Bold pilots. |

outside loop
Wouldn't that be termed a "3-D maneuver" which I think, if I am not
mistaken, would be impossible with full-size at the current technologies. My R/C buddies do it all the time but the lift to weight ratios are a little different there. I can tell you that if any pilot could handle 3-D, well, they wouldn't be in a heli lol. "niceguy" wrote in message ... Is there a video of a helo doing an outside loop? |

That... just... ain't... right! I can hear it now . . . That guy will start taking helicopter flying lessons and at some point will say . . . "Hey, watch what I can do with a helicopter!" But he'll only say it once! |
