Outside loops in a Decathlon

Thanks Shawn. Does it feel like you have to apply a lot more stick
force than the inside loop? I would assume so since it takes some
input to fly level inverted without retrimming.

Dave, I am not suprised by your post, but do you really think I need my
question answered with a question? My instructor does not teach any
outside manuevers, as he normally flies a Citabria. Other options for
instructors are a very long way away and expensive. What does your
instructor suggest Dave?

Why are you not suprised by my post? The reason I asked the question
was because as a relatively new acro pilot myself who isn't anywhere
near inverted loops I was curious about what advice your primary
instructor had given you, perhaps based on what he was seeing during
your lesson. I've posted numerous times asking for advice, but
sometimes find that the best responses come when I give others an idea
of how my current instructor is having me do something. Therefore I
was in no way implying that you should only listen to your instructor
and avoid asking on this group.

Dave,

Sorry for jumping to conclusions. I was just ready to see a bunch of
replies that said "do it with an instructor first".

You make a very good point.

Shawn,

Yes, the second half of the loop seems to be the intimidating part as I
visualize the manuever.
