The stunt meter is an excellent way to gauge how much further you must go to complete the stunt (left). Flying upside down is weird. The controls are reversed so don’t try and do the same thing or you’ll plummet into the ground and make a nice pancake on the floor (right).

For this challenge, you will start on the runway so you must perform a simple take off. You are in a stunt plane so you will not need to retract the landing gear. When you reach the first checkpoint, Jackson will issue further instructions.

You will notice a stunt meter appear above the clock after Jackson has said what he wants you to do. As soon as he starts to tell you to perform a barrel roll, do so. The meter will fill up as you perform the stunt so keep an eye on that to know how much further you need to go. After you’ve finished, you will be asked to level the plane with the horizon before you go to the next section.

Keep increasing altitude for this next task because you will need to perform three barrel rolls in a row and with each one, it is easy to lose altitude. When Jackson gives the go-ahead, perform the barrel rolls whilst keeping an eye on the meter. Keep going till Jackson starts talking again and level up. Always level up. Gain a little more altitude as Jackson directs you to the next task.

Next, you’ll be flying the plane upside down for quite a few seconds. Pull back on the flight stick when directed to until you are inverted and the meter starts filling up. Keep the plane steady, don’t move it too much and stay like that until Jackson tells you to flip back over. Well done!
