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).
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsOiLwK0NCQ
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…!
Can I leave it to you @Challenges_Committee to define standard timelines and usual rules?

good point, I thought about this when I put the challenge - but it is a really good way to learn for FPV quads (at least 3’’ and more).
It is indeed a disadvantage if you fly whoops - sorry for that.
If it affects a lot of you guys, I don’t want to push you out of the challenge, so could change it to something else.
Its doable with a whoop just might be a little snappier is all, im at bird this weekend so will be spending a load of time on the sticks with whoops , if you power in with it it should be fine
