rolling corona?

[medtech]

Is it possible to do a side roll with a corona. I don't know if I'm calling it the right thing. Basically a flip but sideways. I keep trying by going way up and pushing the stick hard left or right. It leans way over and starts to dive very quickly to the side until I chicken out. It never seems to start heading under itself. Maybe this isn't possible with the corona or maybe I'm just doing it completely wrong. Any ideas?

they'll do sloppy cork screw rolls. You need to replace the big socket head screws in the subrotor with little set screws to hold the wire in to make it more responsive (set screws in the same hole as the wire on each end). After you get used to that move the Z links to the inner holes. It'll be a whole different heli though, and you'll probably want expo on. It's best to get good speed up in level flight pull up about 45 degrees and back off on the throttle a little, and slam the roll. At least that way it isn't powering towards earth.

well, I decided to hold off on completely destroying the heli for now. I've finally got comfortable with side in and am working on making my figure 8's smoother. I've also tried nose in a few times. I can manage to do it for about 30 seconds then forget what the hell I'm doing and down I go. Thanks for the advice!
