VOTE NOW FPV Trick Competition - Rubik's Cube 9/10/22 to 6/11/22

Well done to @gunja99 for winning the last ‘Inverted Lookback’ compo.
Martin, that’s his real name allegedly, has chosen the next trick.

All you have to do is flip 180 degrees, then whilst inverted, roll 360 degrees, then to finish off, flip 180 degrees. If all goes to plan, you should be facing the same direction as you were when you started. And more importantly, the right way up.

The key to this, is precise endings to the moves to ensure you don’t head off to the nearest tree at a funny angle. Practice at height, then when you’re comfortable, do it in the kitchen at teatime :+1:

If you can do this below, you’ll be fine with this trick.

and mine… but are you going to give it a go?
if there’s no rain or wind tomorrow I’ll give it a go XD

it would have been nice to start last week though. Slightly easier.

I’m grounded until I can be bothered soldering a wire back on a VTX. I’ve been playing with sideways power loops a late and the occasional attempt at a matty flip. But I’m not a fan of being upside down or anything that involves lots of rapid movements. I’ll leave this to the skilled pilots that like that sort of thing. :wink:

I tried once and crashed (after a few packs of practising 180 ptiches, and 360 rolls seperately), had them down to a tee. The reverse lookback is spot on. My second attempt had my vista reboot or whatever the f it does occasionally (no idea why, bloody DJI), so couldn’t see mid trick, thought I had it!

BTW will make a post shortly. Anyone fancy willington on Saturday? I wanna powerloop those towers :smiley:
