Heh. Got a good scare there did you? Good to see you didn't kill yourself!

So what was the verdict? Did he enjoy it?
Your almost starting to get those piro circuits with your travelling piros. Just need to add a touch of aileron and you'll start turning.
The motor sounded a touch strained in the flips. Its either not giving you enough power or you are piling on the collective. Are you holding collective all the way around? Full collective and full cyclic puts a lot of stress on the motor. Try to think of it more like a pitch pump where you add the collective only when level and have 0º pitch as it goes over to top. Hope that makes sense.
Looking real good though mate. Keep it up.
