Awesome video as usual. Keep them coming. Seems like this could lead to many crashes off the sim:) May try some of this 50 feet up. Feels more difficult then piro tic tocs.

100%. I've always felt they're more difficult because you aren't controlling the cyclic like the PTT, but some people prefer them, so who knows :D
They're not very defined in terms of the stick movements either. If you want to do a rotation, etc., it's more like having control, just doing it and the fingers will work it out, rather than "move stick A here and B here". Good to have though!

Very interesting! I think the slow corkscrews look so sleek for a low rpm flight. the only thing i am missing a bit would be a good practice how to get into them and what one would have to look for in order to get the timing right?

Jonas did a really nice video on getting into corkscrews, so worth watching that for the basics. Once you can see/follow/anticipate the heli and you can do things like rotations, you'll find your fingers do the corrections automatically and you can come back to the variations. Timing should get you started, but it's defo a feel thing, if you know what I mean.
