1 Meg Mpg of a backwards loop that I got a little disoriented.... If I only had a few more feet of recovery room!

That went in hard. How much did it cost you to fix? It was fast and hard.

Replacement cost

About $120 before adding the cost of another set of V-Blades ($120) for a grand total of $240. Amazingly, the canopy & fins weren't damaged! That saved me a little.....

you said it right...... OUCH!!!! you put V-Blades on a HAWK??? I think you should try some cheap glass blades untill you get loops down...
I've been flying now for a little over a year and I fly constantly.. Loops, rolls, downward spirals and some inverted stuff... I still don't think I'm ready for 120 dollar blades

V Blades

It's not like I can't do backwards loops! I do a lot of them! I just got screwed up this one time..... I also do a lot of inverted stuff (invert hovering 1" from ground, etc...) and about everything that the hawk is capable of. Trust me, the V-blades are worth every penny, no other blades work quite as well inverted on the under-powered 30's. I don't care how good you get, if you get screwed up you'll eventually screw it up......

I did this invert-ground hop just a few minutes before:
