Funnel, tail funnel and loop, by Gazzele and skilfull pilot

[4c Hajduk Veljko]

This is apparently the first time ever Gazzele helicopter publicly performed full loop. Take a look at the cool Funnel and Tail Funnel flying! This pilot is good, really good!

No.. it isn't. And it wasn't a proper loop as far as I could tell. But it is the first time it was done on the Yugoslav licence built version.

 

But a stunning performance by sub-lieutenant Goran Krneta nonetheless. Even more so when you see it in person :)

 

Here it is in HQ

Your video does not have the part where Krneta is working the loop. However, I see your point, the maneuver looks more like Imelman rather then the loop. However I do know, from reliable sources, that potpukovnik Krneta did the loop. You can stop by =4c= web site forum and there is some cool stuff there.

 

Anyway, were you at the show?

[nscode]

Yeah, I know this one doesn't have the loop. I was there on Sunday. He also did it on the first day of the airshow, and twice that week in rehursal, so repetitivenes is not a problem :)

 

 

What I meant is that the maneuver he did is not something I would call a loop. He's partialy going diagonally and then flips over. Something between a loop and a roll. That's the way British do it too. But the chopper was inverted, no question about that. :)

Cool video! Also good for some inspiration for the next

;)

Thanks for sharing :)

Yeah, I've just seen your demo yesterday. It's very cool, but it has a very unrealistic feel to it. That's something you could work on ;)

It is entirely based on what I have seen in reality. Not one maneuver is not possible or never done. The execution of the maneuvers can be improved though.

Eighter way, thanks for the input there ;)

After further reviewing some videos of British Gazelles, those choppers were not inverted.

 

So, it appears that after all this was the first time Gazelle was inverted :) (loop or no loop ;)) If anyone has different info from the British, French or other pilots, please come forward..
