<DIV>That outside loop is a little trickier than one might think coming into it. I find that I have to get back into the throttle at about 3 o'clock and really work the rudder quite a bit to keep the heading right. In my case I have actually added a good bit of left rudder mix to down elevator so that I dont have to fight it so much, that allows me to focus on the geometry more. That mix also helps the lines anywhere down elevator is used. Also patience on the last 1/4 is a biggie. Its easy to make it look like a paper clip if you arent careful and get impatient. I push pretty hard till about the 9 oclock position (flying left to right) and then just let it ease over the top, seems like it takes forever to get back to 12 o clock but it looks great when I get it right. Fun Fun Fun....</DIV>

<DIV>Hows the new H9 Extra working out?? Im so jealous. I have gone the other way and started flying foamies with a brushless setup. They are way too much fun to be legal, you need to get you one, seriously. They are an absolute blast to fly, I can torque roll mine for the better part of a flight now. Low fear factor, High fun factor!!</DIV>
