Im new to this, I have a UAV Hexa 85e, powerful motors and strong batteries and love the Naza. Starting to fly a little with GPS off, keen to do a few barrell rolls and loops....but am a little concerned that unlike my copter I cant feed in negative pitch at the top of the loop, and if I take off power when upside down it might not pull out. It seems to be acrobatic enough to do it, I just havent got enough courage yet. How does Naza handle aerobatics, and how do Hex's handle them in general? Thoughts and comments appreciated.

I started doing 3d on a brushed motor mQX mini quad copter. I just got the bugs worked out of my F550 ARF and I have already started doing flips with it (intentionally). It is way more than capable of basic flips and such. I am going to start testing the waters the more I get used to it. I also need a larger field to practice at. I am park flying now and people keep showing up. Some just to stop and watch which makes me nervous.

Yesterday I was able to actually fly full manual with my F550. Man does it have some serious speed and is quick to response in manual mode. I need to get my video camera setup to record some ground video.
It seemed like by the time I started to get some good speed, I was already at the end of the park and had to turn back. It was a great adrenalin rush. If it wasn't so windy I would have tried some flips and more, but had 15mph gusts and a steady wind. I was very impressed with how the F550 just cuts through the wind.

Rolls and loops are possible but easier to lose altitude fast.
No benefit to using collective pitch for MRs since you only require variable pitch with some negative range.
Maybe someday!

Thanks for that info...... Warthox must have variable pitch..... can't think of any other possibilities.

He has a video where he takes some props and flattens them out, which is how I believe he is doing it. I am sure that he has the motors changing from forward to reverse as well. So his props might not be efficient but it does the job.
I just don't see doing what he's doing with a F550, but the F550 can do flips.
