Training aid for learning Flying Sideways & Sideways Loops.

This is a little mind bender. Anything you can fly forwards or backwards, you can also fly sideways! What? Yep. Sideways cuban 8s? Yep! Start with a basic loop and instead of accelerating forward to pick up speed and go into the loop, start flying sideways, then do the exact same movements with the collective throttle stick, but roll instead of flip with the cyclic. It takes a little getting used to to not touch the rudder when doing a sideways loop. Rudder should only be used for minor correction in how the heli is pointing to keep it pointed in the same direction for the whole event.

Force yourself to fly sideways for a few sessions. Eventually it will become natural to fly sideways if you practice enough. Just like learning to fly forwards, there will be a moment when it kind of clicks. Then the door is open to whatever you can think of doing sideways. I am not really that good at turning and doing circuits sideways yet, but i can do a loop. With a little more practice I will be a sideways maniac!
