Anthony,
	  A 1/4 loop is 90 degrees. A 1/8 loop is 45 degrees.

A diamond 8 has one 1/8 loop, then two 1/4 loops, one inverted roll on the
45 down line, then three 1/4 outside loops, one upright roll on the 45 down
line and then 1/8 loop to pull out to level flight.

Best idea would be to draw this and then count them.

I arrive at the same conclusion, Anthony.Georgie
