I did my first brief inverted hover last weekend & have been practicing on the sim during the week. I basically go into a loop & hold it at the top. My bail out is to apply negative pitch and push forward on the cyclic so it goes up & away from me.
I managed to get some footage of where I'm at this weekend.
What a buzz!!

A mixture of Call of Duty 4 and the Viva la Vida song from Coldplay. I've attempted to not only make this version rhyme, but also to keep the same syllables as the original.
I do not claim ownership of the music video, of Coldplay, of Chirs Martin, or of any gift for singing. Seriously. I sang crappily on purpose, but I wouldn't do it any better by trying XD
Russian assault helicopter Kamov KA-50 is one of the most manouverable helicopters in world today! It can perform loops, rolls and circle-strafing! Watch enjoy and please comment!
