Thanks.
I think Paul’s point is they are called orbits.
A loop is something entirely different, and probably not something you are doing in the circuit.
(unless you’re flying circuits at Fowlmere)
(and never call it a “loop the loop” !)
Thank you.
Yes, I understood Paul’s correction to my previous brain fart. Knew it wasn’t a loop but couldn’t think what it was called when I wrote it in haste
Thanks for the advice on terminology too. I shall use the more professional ‘loop-de-loop’ in future. It’s interesting to me as a newbie to try to fit in. I’m not sure for example if you should use the term plane or aeroplane or aircraft and whether there is an etiquette around this.
I’m also picking up some possibly tongue in cheek anti-Cirrus vibe but I’ve yet to work out why. All part of the fun of a new hobby and community which overall I am finding to be very supportive and welcoming. I really like that mistakes or ideas are shared and openly discussed. One recent example was the video of the guy who got caught in IMC - learned a lot from that mainly on making better decisions. I also liked the clothing material thread - never given it a thought before now and it doesn’t massively concern me. However, I do now choose a cotton shirt and leave the specialist PVC undercrackers for the evenings at weekends only rather than flying days.
