[NSRCA-discussion] New maneuver for Masters or FAI

[Atwood, Mark]

Nah...he had it right.  You reverse roll direction each time.  ¾ right, 5/4 left, ¾ right, 5/4 left...or the opposite.  It's a cool maneuver...just not sure there's enough box...

3/4 + 5/4 = 8/4 =2 which would be upright, not inverted...  3/4 + 3/4 would be 6/4 = 1.5 which is inverted... so it probably was 3/4 of a roll for each point.

	I just went to the Fort Worth airshow and I saw a maneuver that is so cool that some class above me needs to adopt it. 
	I am going to try to remember how it went.....it is a 4 point roll 
	
	
	from straight flight 
	
	3/4 roll right to knife edge (belly of the plane) 
	5/4 roll left to inverted 
	3/4 roll right to knife edge (top of the plane) 
	5/4 roll to upright. 
	
	Anyone ever see this and does it have a name. I may have gotten it slightly wrong, as it took me by surprise. It was Frank Ryder and the Oreck vacuum cleaner powered plane-Cyclone.
