Hey Brian,
 
This is a manuever that use to be in the sequence back in the late 90's...a nice manuever actually.  Basically, it's a 4 point, without a hesitation at inverted.  Roll rates should be consistent, hesitations on both knifes should be equal, and center is the middle of inverted.   Looks very pretty is executed well.
 
-Mark
 
PS...I seem to remember a lot of 5's being given out back then when both the 4pt and the 1/4-1/2-1/4 where in the same sequence.  A LOT of people flew the wrong manuever.

Descriptions of new maneuvers for the 2005 season 

Stall Turn 1 and 1/4 Rolls up, 3/4 Roll down, Exit Inverted - Model pulls through one-quarter (1/4) loop to vertical flight, pauses, performs one-and-one-quarter (1-1/4) rolls, pauses, performs a 180 degree stall turn in the direction of the maneuver to a vertical dive, pauses, performs a three-quarter (3/4) roll in opposite rotation, pauses, then pushes through one-quarter (1/4) loop to recover in inverted level flight. 

Half Outside loop, 2/4 on exit - Model pushes from inverted level flight and executes half (1/2) out-side loop, immediately followed by 2 of 4 point roll, 
and finishes flying straight and level exactly 180 degrees from heading at entry. 

Reverse Avalanche with 1 positive Snap at Bottom - Model pulls down into a loop. At the bottom it executes one positive snap roll, recovers to complete the loop and finishes at top to level inverted flight. 

45 degree Pyramid Loop with Half Rolls up and down- Model passes through center and pulls 135 degrees, climbs, hesitates, executes one-half (1/2) roll, hesitates, then pushes through 90 degree loop, hesitates then executes one-half (1/2) roll, hesitates, then pulls through 135 degrees to level flight. 

Vertical Square Eight from the Middle, Pilot's Option - Model passes through center and pulls or pushes to commence a square loop, When first square loop is complete the model passes through center again and performs a second square loop exactly below or above, opposite to the first loop. 

Mid-entry Figure Nine - pull 3/4 loop first, 1/2 roll down - Model pulls 3/4 loop, hesitates, performs 1/2 roll on down-line, hesitates Pulls 1/4 loop. (Note loop entry point does not have to dissect down line) 

Square Loop with 2/4 point rolls on all sides. First 2/4 on up-line - 
Model passes through center and pulls through one-quarter (1/4) loop and executes square loop with corner segments of equal radius. In each leg, model hesitates, performs a 2 of 4 point roll, hesitates again before performing the next loop segment. 

Inside-Outside Diamond Eight with 1/1, Full Rolls, on center 45's 
Model passes through center and pulls one eighth (1/8) loop to 
45 degree up line, draws another straight line then pulls quarter (1/4) 
loop, draws straight line and pulls one quarter loop (1/4). Model hesitates 
and performs one roll (1/1), hesitates and pushes one quarter loop (1/4) to 
45 degree up line, draws line and then pushes one quarter loop (1/4), draws 
straight line, pushes one quarter loop (1/4), hesitates and performs one 
roll (1/1), hesitates pulls one-eighth loop (1/8) to level flight. 

I expect that #4, the Reverse Avalanche, might initially catch the attention of the Masters pilots. It has the snap at the bottom of the loop. When you look closer you will see that the maneuver is designed so that your plane will be almost level and upright just before for the snap component. The snap will be a single snap and will also be performed into the wind. All of these design decisions were calculated to make the maneuver more executable. 

Also I think that it actually should be called an inverted avalanche?

Does someone have a handy copy of the 2005 masters sequence.

Thanks
