Chevron Chevron helicopter-aerobatics CAMARILLO, California Red Bull aerobatic helicopter pilot Chuck Aaron is flying straight and level 2,000 feet above the citrus groves south of Santa Paula.

Were moving along at 110 knots when Aaron gives the control stick known as a cyclic in a helicopter a gentle pull.

Airspeed bleeds off quickly and we reach a critical point Aaron calls his chicken point.

He came up with the name several years ago, when he was just learning how to make helicopters do things they probably ought not do.

Id fly at 2,000 feet above the ground, pull it up to do a loop and Id get just about straight up and Id chicken out and roll out and fly away from it, Aaron says.

As our airspeed slows toward 60 knots, Aaron continues pulling back on the cyclic.

Just as it feels we might suddenly stop, we flip over backward.

Aaron strains his head back to see the ground and drops the collective stick that controls the pitch of the rotor blades which are now below us.

Seconds later were flying straight and level again at 2,000 feet.
