I did something similar to that at Paradise while flying the outside loop in Intermediate. I recovered but flew the rest of the sequence in the wrong direction so I basically wasted the rest of the sequence. I did however get the airplane back in one piece so it wasn't a total loss. Where exactly was the plane in relation to the field when all of this happened? Maybe there's some type of atmospheric condition and / or a magnetic field that exists in that area. Blaming these things on the pilot (admitting fault) is not an acceptable thing. We need to come up with a better explanation. LOL</DIV>
