Masters Cuban 8 w/ 2/4

[Woodward James R Civ 412 TW/DRP/ACQ]

Hi All,

 

I've been practicing this maneuver and I'm having trouble getting making it
repeatable/consistent/, etc.  So, I took a music CD and drew two circles
that have the same baseline and touch each other at their closest points.
If you do this, you will quickly see that two adjacent circles have no place
for 45 degree lines to be drawn in between them.  It appears to me from the
drawing that actually you cannot maintain a constant radius AND perform a 45
degree "LINE" within this maneuver.  If you maintained a constant radius you
would never reach a point where you could depart that curve onto a 45 degree
up or downline, and intersect the magic spot on the other loop at the same
radius.

 

Am I out to lunch on this, or do you indeed need different radii:  1.)
blending 45 degree line into loop 2.) looping segment.  Or, the loops are
not really supposed to touch each other in the middle, thus there is some
distance between each loop?

 

Thanks,

Jim W.
