Waipio Valley Challenge in the Stearman

Featured Replies

Hey gang,This one is positively kicking my butt. I can complete the challenge fine, but I just cannot get enough points to even get the lowest award.I see there are a lot of points available for doing it at night, gave that a try, heck no way can I do this one in the dark.I have done some aerobatics, maybe I just need to do more? There when I get through all the hoops in the valley, and have some distance before getting to the hoops just above the runway, I do a few - loops, rolls, hammerhead stalls - still though, I ain't even getting close to getting an award...Any tips would certainly be appreciated!!

Well I finally got enough to at least get an award, even though it was the low level one.Took a lot of aerobatics to get it, inverted flight helped, if you can hold it long enough you can rack up some points with it.

try it with the RV ;)

The fly through rings challenges are insanely rough to get good score on. I've attacked some of these in 110% "My passenger might want to check his underwear" mode and I'll get like a bronze because apparently while buzzing through thin valleys at 130kts, buzzing through rings almost parallel with cliff walls because the ring is 1/2 buried into a cliff, doing touch and goes at 110kts I was supposed to find time to do aerobatics on top of it.. <_<

I managed to get silver flying the Stearman and I think the secret with this challenge is the timer that starts when you fly through that first hoop.100% throttle all the way ! Try not to waste a second of your time !Fred.
