Hey Jay,

The ones I've seen are either slowly (constant) pirouetting or with a single, quick pirouette, once per funnel-revolution. I'll see if I can't pull one off (out of my ***) the next time we get together.

It's possible. I've seen it a few times, but usually only one or two piros per revolution.

They mentioned the maneuver in the Close Encounters section of the April 2003 issue of MHW. They referred to the high speed piroetting funnel as the "piroetting-wall-of-death".

Nice video! I'm working on this maneuver on the simulator and having a little success. It feels interesting doing it, you fly forward like a regular funnel as the heli spins around, then transition to backwards flight as the heli spins past the vertical orientation. I'm doing 2 pirouettes per revolution right now (there were about 3 in the video). What helps me is to think forward, backward, forward, backward, etc. Also focus on the rotor disk to keep the shape of the funnel. I've made a few lame attempts at it in real life and it really gives your gyro a workout!
