Top Hat Helpz

For a while now i've been attempting to make a good top hat, but only to have it end up failing majorly. Can anybody sort of direct me on how to make one? Preferably using HSAK, or some type of formula?

Phail.

I have yet to master the tophat.

I can't make a tophat without pulling 6gs or rolling back. Can't help you there.

Its easy.

What kind ya want? Take like 10 minutes. Where do you have the most trouble?

Hm. Lets see, I was sort of thinking something like Stealth. I'm assuming that when you have the general idea of how to make a top hat, its probably easy to make them taller or shorter... Idk. You have AIM, make life much easier than trying communicate on CC.

Oh, heres an example. Im not available for that kinda help at the moment.

Kinda if Stealth and Kingda Ka had a baby.

Lolz. Thanks, what did you use to build? Im assuming HSAK?

EDIT: Uhm... How the hell did you do that? Did you use a very long lead out to make that straight 90* twist section?

Nope. Its not perfectly vertical. Its at a 89.5 degree angle so the appearance is vertical but at enough of an angle so the AHG will heartline it.

Yes, that entire thing was HSAK'd in like 30min as a test.

Real: Keyword Twist.

ok, i got it now. Its still screwin up a bit for me on the way down. The heartline goes a little haywire. Any particular reason?

Are you color coding?

well, hand banking and then color coding. Lol, I use FVDs, so i actually dont know how to color code

I don't really know 100% on color coding either, and I surely don't understand FVDs either lol.

Does anybody know anything else about tophats that could potentially help me on AIM?

Yea, the whole tower is just HSAK'd and then I handbanked it. Then color coded it several time to get the perfect banking I wanted in the AHG. Tedious? Yes.

If youre using FVD's then yea, Ive got no clue.

Won't work with stock FVD. Don't go that route.

I've been looking for that page for ages! I loved the statistics-image so much that I just had to made my own back then [:o)]

Using handbanking and colorcoding is also how I made that tophat. It does take a lot of time changing a few degrees or color just one more segment before you've got the best result though..

Thanks everybody, I think I have it actually. Ill post some pics when I get a chance, maybe you guys can determine how the shaping is.
