The challenge shall run from 29th January 00,01 hours till 26th Febuary 22,00 hours, But as previous we can always extend when where needed .
Set out below by @ORB_FPV please read
Dear all, let’s keep it simple and basic still - we have plenty of time to go to the power loops, wall rides and other fun challenges.
The challenge I suggest will have a few advantages
- get to know the inertia of your quad
- understand your rates (THIS IS KEY for acro
) if you want more information on that specific - just ask - imho, the best way to understand that for those of you who are starting and using standard rates, is to try in simulators)
So the next challenge is “Ctrl-Z”, in which you need to do an inverted loopback.
An inverted lookback in FPV acro is a, freestyle trick where the pilot flies high, flips the drone completely upside down (180-degree pitch) while maintaining forward momentum, holds that inverted position while looking “back” at where they came from, and then completes the flip to upright. It is a segmented, graceful maneuver that, when done correctly, combines high-speed movement with a momentary, gravity-defying “float” while upside down.
The video can be cut or a whole pack, but try to say where the figure you submit is (timecode).

Now this is interesting for beginner, intermediate and advanced pilots. The better you are, the lower, faster and most important the LONGER (cough cough - don’t forget Grey Arrows has a dedicated crash thread… don’t erase your video by shame! :-D) you should execute it. If you are not confident, just make sure you have enough speed (and altitude!!!) to give this inverted floating impression and good rates to stop as perfectly horizontal as you can.
Make sure you do it on a flat land and far away from anyone or from trees…!
RULES
#1 You the pilot should share a continuous video of this challenge (not a snipped and joined video),
#2 please kindly state at the top of your entry ( this is my entry ) with time date & location,
#3 please state the aircraft/Fpv used,
#4 upload your video via YouTube or Vimeo, if at anytime you would like to change your entry please delete the old one & post the new one, also feel free to add anything with your entry that maybe of interest,
In the “ hopefully unlikely “ event of dispute the original footage maybe required, failure to do so may result in your entry being withdrawn !
This is your challenge so feel free to chat, bant, rant as much as you like or help each other if where when needed but please try to keep it on topic, the rules are very simple as above & below, I look forward to your entries enjoy.
If your new to the challenges you can see what goes on Here
All flights carried out are the sole responsibility of the flyer as per the drone code & any permissions that maybe needed, enjoy & may the force be with you ! ![]()
