You make this look so effortless smile I can do this as well, however, it is usually entirely uncontrolled and ends with me in little bits on fire.

Noob question, would you mind describing the control inputs you're making to achieve those turns?

Oh crumbs!

That's a difficult one as each turn is different, ie speed, angle etc etc. One constant is rudder-input: It's balls-to-the wall, straight through the firewall - immediate as I enter the turn I'm standing on the right /left rudder. 100% input - don't hold back. That is then aided with cyclic input, trim in the turn and collective.

I'll be the first to admit that the explanation is lacking - an idea would be to view the track. If you change to external view and then back to cockpit whilst viewing the track, that will allow you to use the mouse to view the cyclic, collective and rudder inputs. RCtrl-Enter will also bring up the Input diagram which should give you an idea of the Inputs and their position at various stages of manoeuvring/flight.

Never be scared to Fly it like you Stole it - works for me biggrin
