Sharks tooth vs 1/2 cuban

[John Ferrell]

The Shark's tooth is a test of extremes for both airplane & pilot.
If you are not "wings level" throughout the airplane will veer off track with gusto!
Each of the corners are aggresive and under high power(torque) which exagerate yaw errors.
If you push the limit of the airplanes vertical, Torque will rule at the 135 Degree pull over the top.

It is not a difficult or showy maneuver. Executing it with precision is the problem!

  Do we have to reduce the trottle at the top to get a sharper or short figure?

    The sharks tooth has a vertical line on the backside instead of a 5/8th loop.
