R44 loop - latest Robbie bashing thread
Not really a loop (close enough)but seriously stupid... :eek: :eek: :eek: |
balls of steel
|
R44 numpty
I guess if he'd had an accident/incident it would be RHCs fault
|
No neg G there what's the problem. :8

R44 loop - latest Robbie bashing thread
No loop there either!
|
I guess some guys never listen or learn
R44 Pilots Operating Handbook - Section 2 - Limitations: Aerobatic flight is prohibited!
Wasn't there a 407 in SA that did a very expensive loop on camera a couple of years ago!? Bell made them change parts worth around $ 1 mil after that one. |
Might have balls of steel but there is **** all between his ears.
|
Don't really see the problem. He's doing somewhat of a "wingover", no loop or even close to a loop for that matter. The camera angel fools you a little :)
|
I'm quite sure that is a model helicopter and by the sound it just might be jet turbine powered.
BTW it is perfectly easy to loop a model helicopter with a teetering head rotor system. You just need lots of speed before entry otherwise you dont make it around before getting a mast bump - which isnt serious as the masts are usually solid steel and they wont break very easily. I cant think of a real helicopter with the required grunt. oow |
A number of "real" helicopters have the "grunt" to pull a loop. The first recorded on film was 1949, an S-52
Others since |
BTW it is perfectly easy to loop a model helicopter with a teetering head rotor system. If you must loop .. then this is how to do it: |
...and this is how not !
|
...and if anyone wishes to copy the actions of Dennis 'The Maestro' Kenyon's antics, as seen on Savoia's link, just remember even Maestro's cock it all up eventually!!!
|
Someone mention mast bumping?
|
The Lynx was back-flipping, not looping.
|
The s-58s did it too!
|
Rotor separation what...?:ugh:
No neg G but probably 10Gs at the end. Good luck to whoever flies that one |
Cock-up
Yes, the Salt Lake City accident surely qualifies as a master cock-up, and just goes to prove that even after that particular 'wing-over' manoeuvre had been publicly performed around two and a half thousand times, a small drop in self discipline and peripheral awareness bites back hard.
SLC airfield ... 5,800 ft ASL, temperature +96 degrees F ... So just to say please don't try this at home without some guidance from a qualified DAE. Best wishes to all loopers. Dennis K. |
Loops
Oh ... and to keep the record straight, the video clip embedded by Savoia was the Enstrom version of a Loop performed at North Weald. The accident Salt Lake City Sikorsky 300C manoeuvre was a 'nil power wing-over.' For the uninformed - not a lot of difference perhaps. DRK

"Don't f***ing loop them unless it says in the flight manual you can" would have to be the definitive answer on the subject, I'd have thought!
