KNIFE-EDGE LOOP

     A Knife Edge Loop is fairly simple to acomplish. To do one, roll into a knife edge then apply full rudder and if not already full throttle. The plane will go up and around just like a regular loop except this one is in knife edge flight! The problems with some designs is that during the back half of the loop (when you are coming back down!), it is like the rudder-throw was cut in half and the loops radius expands. If this happens, roll to level right now!! Or you plane may do a knife edge "Figure 9" :-)  If you plane does slow on the back hlaf you will need to do your knide edge loops way up there! Some key points to doing a knife edge loop are losts of power, and a very large rudder that has lots of throw! KE Loops are real good attention getters and look really neat! Try one!
