How to continue
There is an endless number of possible variations.
- Level out at the top and stop. Piro slowly 180 degrees
while hovering, stop. Quarter flip forwards and down we go.
- 180+360 degree piro
- piro 360 degrees in one direction, and then 180 in the other
| Stall turns aren't boring! |
| mouse over the boxes below! |
| during the vertical part, piro as early and as slowly as possible. The heli should use as much time for piroing as possible. |
|
|
|
|
| don't piro at the turnaround point, but wait well into the descending part. Flown well, this can look quite impressive. |
|
|
|
|
| piro 360 degrees, then 180 in the other direction |
|
|
|
|
| slow piro all along the straight segment (this is quite hard) |
|
|
|
|
| fly huge stall turns, with particular attention to the segments being straight |
|
|
|
|
| stop at the top of the stall turn, hover and piro around |
|
|
|
|
| combine the stall turn with a roll in the straight-line segment |
|
|
|
|
| fly a roll into the descending part |
|
|
|
|
| omit the piro (or do 360 degrees), push over and fly away in the other direction |

For a 3D pilot, stall turns are a great exercise to master any "flight
mode":
- backwards
- side-in
- and all four directions inverted
- piroing, both upright and inverted
A backwards inverted stall turn (tail slide) is one of the staples in
3D flying.
The piroing variants are very challenging, but rewarding: It is
spectacular when the piroing heli drops vertically and pulls out. And,
mistakes get even more spectacular.
