Again, flying up the far side of the runway, wait until the model is in front of you with wings level before starting out on the Loops. Aim to make the height of the Loops the highest you'll fly when doing the schedule. (This should also be the height at which you carry out the Bunt, Stall Turn and Spin.) Compensate for the wind strength so that the Loops are circular and also ensure that you don't spiral to one side or the other. Spiralling out of a Loop is caused by the wings not being level on Loop entry or an out of trim model (one wing heavy or warped). Both Loops should be the same diameter. You need to vary both the throttle and the elevator as you go round the loops to ensure a circular shape.
Continue on upwind, again taking plenty of space to allow for the Immelmann Turn. You want to pour the power on here as the Immelmann will really slow your model down by the time it reaches the top. Pull up into a half loop, making it the same radius as the loops that you've just completed. When you reach the top, inverted, half roll out to upright flight and if necessary, correct your tracking as you are about to enter the Bunt.
