The piro loop has been around a long time, but is still a challenge and a common manoeuvre use in 3D competitions.
These videos will give you some of the building blocks to learning piro loops with your RC helicopter.
1 minute introduction to learning piro loops
This short one minute video that covers the basic concepts we use to learn the pirouetting loop, from learning the 4 orientations through to hesitation loops. This will get you going, but if you get stuck or need more detail on how to break it down, you can also try the videos lower down.
Pirouetting Loops Tips and Tricks
This is my latest and most up-to-date video on the piro loop. It covers how to progress, quarter and half piros, as well as demos on how to do 2 or 4 piros per loop.
F3N Pirouetting Loop How-to
This is an older video that covers the same method of learning, but is more biased to towards flying the piro loop as a set manoeuvre. It has some important points around scoring and controlling the speed of the helicopter using attitude versus the flight path.
