Nick Maxwell One Tank Tip #2: "Piro" Flips

- Nick Maxwell is a member of Team Thunder Tiger America, and widely regarded as one of the world's best R/C helicopter pilots. In his second One Tank Tip segment, Nick talks you through the mechanics of performing piro flips while flying them with his Raptor 90 G4. Screen-in-screen video in the bottom right corner shows you the stick movements for each step, while the main screen simultaneously shows the maneuver they create. He starts with the basics, the four basic heli orientations. He uses a simple "half flip out" and 90° rotation technique, which produces all four orientations in rapid order and brings the heli back to its original starting point. Nick builds on the basics from there, showing how to achieve smooth, continuous piro flips, how to fly reverse piro flips and how to combine sudden pitch changes with a piro flip to produce a pirouetting pogo.

I got one suggestion. Everyone (mostly) knows how the heli will behave and what to expect from the machine for each maneuver. The issue is how you handle the sticks to make the thing. So what I'm saying is that the attention for newbies or more advanced, say sport pilots that need to add some slick tricks in their repertoire, is how to treat the sticks. I'm suggesting that perhaps you can re-edit the video and upload a version where the transmitter is in the big portion of the screen while the model is in the smaller part of the window in the lower right hand corner. Think about it. Thanks.
nick's explanation is the best i am trying to do this maneuver but i must say it is not easy. but practice is the key i will try to master this move. thanx nick.
Best tutorial I found on how to piroflip!! Thanks for the upload. Greatly appreciated.
Anyone successfully set up Dx6i for inverted hovering in realflight 7? It's been a nightmare getting it to work. I'll pay someone $10 if they can help me.
hello,
what is your fligth mode please
so smooth that it looks like this video was filmed on a flight sim
dude your chopper is so damn smooth. I cant even get my sim that smooth, no wind. lol
Okay so thats how to do it! Easy peasy :P
how is the maneuver called where you make tic toc flips with the disk looking in the air?
Pyro tic toc
Damn I am sorry, you are just a bad ass! I finally got a 1/2 piro down on the simm and I am still looking at how to complete the 2nd part of the piro flip from inverted now. Still working.
Cool! I think that's really going to help me. Any more?
Nice Video but I realize that you start the first piroflip to the left (1:40). most of piroflip tutorials on the net start it to the right. does it make any difference or doesn't matter how to do it, left or right ? your flip to the left, then rotate, to the right, then rotate are very helpful to disassemble the piroflip during learning curve.
Great vid. my mini titan isn't going to like me continuing to learn new things though :D
this video helps a ton, especially with the lockposition on realflight simulator 6.5.. I've been flying only 4 months and learned the piro in 1.5 weeks after watching the video below.. of course this is using right rudder :D

wow nice video now i can see how its done great way nick how you broke it down into steps now just need a lot of time on the sim to get the hang off it VERY NICE FLYING NICK THANK YOU
mind blown everytime i watch it.......... Im only day 6 of learning half piro flips in the sim. getting inverted got that, but coming out of inverted is so messy :/
Thought id come back to this. im now doing half piro flips on both my 450 and 600 . Im still not doing them fluidly. but mostly half piro inverted pause and then half piro out. occasionally ill do it in 1 but its still along way from doing continiously.
I can do full piroflips inthe sim sometimes fluidly for 2-3 flips but still cant pluck up the courage to try IRL
agreed
Splendid explanation Nick, you are the best. Thanks a lot
I tried it tonight, managed to complete half of it and got confused haha I'll go at it tomorrow
Please someone help here - In the slow (8-step) version at the beginning of the lesson, the helicopter is upright and facing the pilot halfway through after step 4. However, in the fast smoother version that is done next, the helicopter is inverted and facing away from the pilot halfway through the maneuver. Check it out.
I've thought a lot about this. lol. It's because the half way point in the 8 step version is step 5 (not step 4). So step 1,2,3,4 is the first half of a piro-flip. Step 5,6,7,8 is 2nd half. If you look, you are looking at step 4. At step 5, the heli is in the same orientation in the slow version and fast smoother version.
Good catch and it is a simple answer. The ratio Nick is using in the slow flip then piro examples has the heli doing only 90 degrees of piro after each 180 degrees or one half flip. This means it takes 2 complete flips, 720 degrees of rotation, to return to disc level upright and tail in. This is what I call a point 5 to one or .5:1 piroflip. When Nick begins continuous piroflips however he changes the ratio to1:1, possibly unconsciously, so that instead of the heli sideways at each inverted point it is tail in and then back to tail in each time it returns to disc level upright. This is what I call a 1:1 piro which is one degree of tail rotation for each degree of disc rotation/flip. This is a great instructional video as were all the one tank tips but Nick made this 6 years ago. It could use a little updating.
Here is my problem with this video although its good.
He goes from showing you a half piro to a full piro and does not even realize he changed what he was doing
Excellent video, thank you Nick. :-)
thanks, nick. this helps make it easier to understand. I have a base to start working with now.
good
Thanks Nick, I been trying to do this manouver for almost a year now, your explanation really helped me.
subscribed!!!!! Piro flips never made sense till now.
Love Nick maxwells videos.... indeed one of if not the best!
thank you, very nice video.
this is how i learned how to piro flip. at first mine was kinda out of place. but seeing you fly slow, made me see how to make my model stay in one place. best technique so far, thanks.
Thank you very much.
Thanks...
Thanks for the tips Nick! I broke it down like you said, and after a few hours of sim time, I can now do half of a piroflip. 50% there, I've been flying a year and a half and today is the first day I tried a piroflip. Awesome vid!
Nice flyin Nick good tips
Great Job. Great training
Man i been flying for 7 months and this is 1 of the coolest maneuvers and i almost got it :)!!!!!! Thanks Nick!
Sick man just sick, this is a move i have always wanted to master
Great video! Can you show us going left please?
The way you have broke this down, makes the most sense to me. I have been trying and trying to learn these since I started doing 3D about 3 months ago. I think this video is the one that will get me through them. I am going to watch this as I practice them. thank you much!
Thanks Nick... You are the best pilot.. I really like these one tank tips.. Your flying style is pure skill.. thanks for this video..
Sir you are a God!
Thanks Nick !!!
That just sounds cool.. "Piro Flip" bro.
The best way I ever saw a piroflip explained! Thanks for the video. Really going to help a lot when learning to piroflip!
Now I understand how it work. Thank you Nick....
Super! thank you.
by far the best video instruction of a piro-flip that i have ever seen.
Holy wow! subbed
mode 1 tx?
Great lessons
Fantastic Nick, many many thanks for taking the time out to show us all these complex manouvres in a little easier to follow steps!!!
Thanks for breaking it down for us! That is very useful!
great stuff, very helpfull, Thanks man !!!!
awesome Nick thanks for the tips!
GOOD VIDEO!!!
Great video!
Your the man!
💚💚💚👍👍👍👍
awesome bro .... your a legend bro
