    Helicopter basic tips

    Ok. Â Here is a "tip". Â Take an AH-64 to 10000 feet or so. Â Get up to max forward speed. Â Maintain full forward cyclic and then dump the collective. Â Once your on your back give it full collective while maintaining full forward cyclic. Â If you get the timing right you can do a forward flip. Â Once you complete the revolution pull back full on the cyclic and keep the collective pegged. Â You should live. Edit: You may have to "pump" the collective a little to get it to go over.

    Helicopter basic tips

    Any fuel injected or turbine chopper (a carborator would cut out at a really bad time due to excess negative g's) can do flips/loops/rolls as long as the cyclic allows a negative pitch on the blades. Most civilian chopppers can't unless modified, although it isn't a difficult modification, mainly modifying the control linkages length, any civilian chopper pilot would be risking his life and certification doing this. An aircraft has to be certified to do aerobatic maneuvers. Most fixed wing civilian aircraft are just as capable uncertified at doing these maneuvers, but, due to insurance companies mainly, are simply not certified.
