You need a powerful heli with a high head speed to do those.

To be correct that is wrong A TIC-TOC is only TAIL DOWN, then you have the Nose down Tic-toc and the Rolling Tic-toc. All 3 and a movement from RIght to left 2 to 10 ' clock. But 99% of the people think of the Tail down verison as a Tic-Toc.

The Name come form the movement to a CLOCKS timing chain. Exp: A Grandfather Clock.

Lots of practice. As hard as it looks. IMO, I think it's one of the easier 3d maneuvers to pull off.

Lots of practice, determination, stick movements, powerful heli{Trex}, and a willingness to crash if so happens. :cool:
