For those that say he was too slow in the inverted part of the Loop, I think you are missing the point that at slow airspeeds the radius of curvature will be SMALLER. So would have helped reduce the size of the loop.


Just to demonstrate the principle... Taken to the extreme, if his speed was over 500kts in the inverted, the possible radius of curvature would be enormous.
