Hey, I'm glad the video helped,, a lot of people's tutorials are kind of hard to follow, this was a really tough move to learn but I think this breaks it down in a way that's easy to understand and not super hard to perform if you're somewhat accustomed to flying these things and that type of manner. But anyways I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for checking it out I really appreciate that
Thankx Danny, you are the only one who explains what exactly we need to know, your way of showing sticks, speaking and flying is touching the goal you aim to. Keep showing us.
Nice work Danny. This is a very good breakdown on performing Piro Flips, a lot of guys bury you in technical detail when trying to explain it, which can often lead to confusion more than anything.
The piroflips has been my "obsession" for almost 20 years. Let me see if I can decipher this: a.) from normal, tail-in, go 1 CCW revolution flat, finish to tail-in b.) nose-dive 90 degrees(pointing straight down), and simultaneously go 1.5 CCW revolutoions c.) to inverted, tail-in What you call "half circle" = 1.5 revolution. Do you see that? Here's my problem. I've already spun the cylic 3x. to get to what you are doing. So, my " weird method" to go from the following: a.) Nose-in regular b.) Nose-in inverted. It only takes me a half revolution. It's stable, because it is a stop/go movement even though I could do pre-spin or revolution. I can go from a stand still:(nose in) Then all this in one motion: a.) Flip nose-down to invert b.) spin tail 1/2 revolution c.) Finish tail-in
I don't know how many hours of practice on the simulator it took me to get this down, it was a very crazy deal to learn and I remember being scared to death to tried in real life but finally I did it and it worked out okay, I probably learned it on the simulator for months before I tried it for real but practice makes perfect, I haven't flown any RC helicopters in quite a few years, my autoimmune disease has flared up really bad and I can barely stand for a long period of time or sit in the chair or anything for too long so I can't even pick something up off the ground without feeling like I just pulled out my hamstrings and my back, plus it got to be a very expensive hobby so I don't know I kind of miss flying sometimes but what can you do I guess
Thanks, good instructions. Between your video, RaZa's and Maxwell's, I think you filled in some missing spots I had. I can do dirty full piros now, but half piro's I've gotten down cleaner.
your welcome, if you have anything you want to learn and if i am able to do it and explain it ill make a video, just send me a message and ill see if i can make a good video for it or not..
That trick is still hard for me. What position do you like the tail to be when you flip it. I guess easier to say when do you flip it or does it not matter?
yeah its not easy to learn that of for sure. when the tail faces you is about when you start the stick stir to make it flip and roll thew to inverted, same thing when you go from inverted to upright..
Hi Dan, is this g6.5? I notice a whitish haze over the black parts of the blades... my g6.5 has been troubled with this problem since the .5 upgrade. Do you see this haze on many models? I see it on all but the newest EAs created for g6.5. I've tried to bring this problem to KE's attention with no response. I've also discussed it with some knowlegable members on the forum. Can't seem to get any real agreement that any problem exists. Appreciate your input, thanks.
i have not noticed, i have phoenix. i am at my friends house for a week watching his dogs, he has RF6.5. the little bit i have been flying this simulator i have not noticed any haze on the blades, i guess i have not paid much attention either, if it is there it is not that noticeable for me. next time i get on ill see if notice it or not...
pretty sure i have a video for both of those things, if you view my channel and click on play list you should find my lesson on those things in the play list.
if you want to teach someone pf's ya need to able to do them tidy yourself first. half piro flips do a full circle on the cyclics I don't know where you got the half circle from. its a 360 on the tail and on your elev and ail that's a half pf.
Man, I’ve watched countless videos of trying to learn how to do this, and you’ve made it really simple in a short video. Awesome.

Do you see that?

If not the best. one of the best.. Thank you. You are the man.
hmmm I better check my wallet first for backup parts cash b4 I give this a try!!! ha
Thx for taking the time to explain the steps required.
Never mind I got it. Good video

Love it Danny, keep em coming, 1 day i will be able to do more than hover :)
yeah its not easy to learn that of for sure. when the tail faces you is about when you start the stick stir to make it flip and roll thew to inverted, same thing when you go from inverted to upright..
Very cool and to the essence. Thank you.
keep it up dan
Great work Dan
your welcome.. thanks..
Great video!!

Very good video!
Why do you change the direction of the flip midway?
yeah, people get way to technical some times and that sure can make things hard to understand..
Thanks, very helpful :-)

nice and clear
Thanks, this will help...
and full pf's do a two complete circles on both controls.
will do, thanks...
dannylightning, you are a good man. Thank you. Now that you are at it, how do you do tic tocs and funnels? he-he
pretty sure i have a video for both of those things, if you view my channel and click on play list you should find my lesson on those things in the play list.
Wow!!!! Thanks a bundle!!!
Where you been hiding Danny? Haven't heard from you in a long time brother.
thanks..
thanks....
if ya ever want a lesson on pf's don't hesitate to ask.
if you want to teach someone pf's ya need to able to do them tidy yourself first.
half piro flips do a full circle on the cyclics I don't know where you got the half circle from. its a 360 on the tail and on your elev and ail that's a half pf.
A full circle on the cyclic gets you back to where you started, that's a full flip.
thank you
what.. stop harassing me lol.. seriously though i am not sure what your asking
thank you
