What kind of airplane? The G pull really doesn't matter. You can do a

loop in a Pitts or Extra, or a 7G loop. It's all a matter of finesse
and feel.

People will talke about easing up as you slow at the top of the loop,
but
it
kind of depends on the plane as well as your energy and speed.

Really, the best way to tell would be to get a ground instructor to
watch-

otherwise, you could practice a million loops but they could all be
wrong.


I mentioned the G as I thought it might indicate that the entry and
exit radii were similar -it's the bit of the top I'm not suee about.
Could I use timing from vertical to vertical?

Well, with your internal clock, but your speed is constantly changing.
From inside, it's all by feel and intuition, really and the only way
you're going to get that is by seeing it from outside, either through a
critique from someone else or by video ( useless unless the camera is
fixed, BTW) You're probably also torqueing out a bit at the top, which
is another common beginner error and the video will help you visualise
this more accurately when you get back in the airplane after viewing it.
Loops are pretty much the easiest thing to start with and the most
difficult to perfect!
