Masters Cuban 8 w/ 2/4

Jim:

Start with making an "X" with 45 deg lines on the paper first.  Then add the loops to the ends of the "X's".

  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.
