Masters 2005 questions

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

It might serve some purpose to try the Half Clover maneuver in  P05 which 
immediately goes into the 45 degree upline 4 Point Roll. The second  half of the 
Half Clover (1/4 clover?) is essentially the Fig 9 we are  dicsussing. That 
sequence is straight forward and so is the Fig9, Slow  Roll, Humpty sequence in 
Masters

The Fig. 9 occurs at the point in the sequence where you SHOULD be toward  
your outermost flight line horizontal distance anyway.  It can be a bit  larger 
because of that, but the REAL problem with this manuever is centering  the 
SLOW ROLL maneuver AFTER it in the box that's left.  Don't forget the  exit of 
the Slow Roll into the Humpty has to have a line, too!!!  And  THAT Humpty is a 
"conventional" type with an in-line loop on top, rather than  move in/out 
type.  That means IT takes a pretty big chunk of real estate,  also.
    If you keep the entire Fig. 9 in the box, and keep it  pretty tight, then 
there will be space for the slow roll after.
    This is one of those sequences where horizontal flight  distance OUT must 
be managed VERY critically, and no mistakes can be  made.  Back on Manuever 
#7, you better choose to go OUT with the Humpty,  or by the time the Figure 9 
happens it will be in your face, rushed, pinched,  and presentation will blow 
up.

Several people have said that the 1/4 loop radius must match the 3/4  loop 
radius in the fig 9.  If this is so, then a large 3/4 loop leads  to a disaster 
because the matching 1/4 loop will finish too close to center  to do a 3+ 
second slow roll.  It these radii must match then as a  judge, I'll bet that if I 
see a large 3/4 loop, theres a 2 point downgrade  about to happen next.

Jim, your assessment is correct. There are many ways to execute the  Fig 9, 
and they all depend on the size of he 3/4 loop. A tiny loop will  make for a 
little longer vert line, and a very large loop, for a little  shorter vert line. 
 
Keep in mind the exiting 1/4 loop needs the same diameter as the  3/4 loop, 
which means it has to start sooner rather than later, and that  will shorten 
the vert line, as long as the exiting altitude is unchanged.  


Matt
Ref: fig 9 I take this to mean the vert. line starts  at the tangent to the 
3/4 loop on the downline. This means part of the  vert. line is above the entry 
line and must be  considered part of  the straight downline for centering.
