Trying to impress your friends with the ultimate barrel roll? Here’s an easy guide on how to do a barrel roll 10 times in a row with just a few simple steps. With practice and patience, you’ll be able to show off your impressive spinning skills in no time.
Approach and Pull Up: Start at the top of your circle, thrusting forward to the bottom.
Before you start your roll, make sure to approach your spin with momentum, thrusting straight forward. Once you’re at the bottom of your circle, it’s time to pull up and complete one full rotation of a barrel roll. Use the tips below to make sure you have the correct form for maximum spin potential.
Roll Over 90 Degrees: Look downwards as you continue and gently turn your helicopter over.
As you look downwards, use your arms and legs to continue to guide your spin tightly into the completion of a ninety degree turn. Once you’ve turned over 90 degrees and feel steady in your roll, take a few moments for more practice as you build confidence with each revolution. Make sure to keep full balance and control throughout the rotation – don’t let any piece of your body lag behind or collapse prematurely.
Hold the Position and Put Pressure On: Put pressure on the helicopter in order to control its altitude and heading.
When you feel ready for the next turn, put pressure on the helicopter and make sure to practice holding a steady roll. This action will help create lift between turns and also helps keep you steady and in control. Practice holding each position softly and calmly, directing your energy efficiently from step to step. Don’t forget to take a few seconds of rest in-between each turn before entering the next one!
Repeatedly Roll Over 90 Degrees: Maintain carefully controlled input as you roll over time in a consistent manner to stay within the circle’s parameters..
As you’re rolling, carefully control your helicopter’s inputs by pressing the controls and adjusting them as needed. Repeat the action of turning 90 degrees several times in order to stay a steady path inside the circle. Pay close attention to the center of gravity while rolling and be prepared to adjust your throttle inputs accordingly to keep your movement evenly balanced.
Finish with a Stall Turn: Use slow slight turns at the end of each roll in order to maintain overall control while finishing in a nice straight line pointing towards the center of the circle.
The final maneuver before completing your 10th complete roll is to perform a stall turn. This is simply done by using very light and slow inputs on the stick as you begin to circle once again but in a very controlled manner. You’ll have to adjust your throttle settings and inputs constantly throughout the movement, but your ultimate goal should be ending in a nice straight line aiming towards the center of the circle. Once you’ve executed this 10 times in succession, you can proudly say that you have successfully mastered the art of the barrel roll!
