[NSRCA-discussion] 2007 Master turnaround question

[Wayne]

No no no we went through this months ago. Troy and the rest of the sequence group chimed in and told us the answer. You guys that have questions need to get a rule book and read it. The changes to the rule book are at the link below. These descriptions will tell you what it looks like. The Aresti that was posted on the FG site will show you a picture of what it loops like. In the Description is says replace the 1/2 roll with a 2/4pt roll. 

Split S and Immelmann type figures always have the roll elements followed immediately after of before the loop segment same as bunt elements. The 2 of 4 pt roll ends when its wings hit level Just like the 1 of 2pt roll that we call a 1/2 roll.



When the wings hit level after the second rolling portion of the 2/4pt the model must immediately begin to loop. This is not a 2/4pt roll added to a 1/2 loop its says Split S with 2/4pt roll . There is no equal length line segment to match up. When a guy does a 4pt roll. the elements are  



<<<straight line entry

roll

pause on knife

roll

pause on inverted

roll

pause on knife

roll

straight line exit. >>>



Otherwise the center of the 4pt roll would not be the middle of the inverted position. If you look the exact middle of these elements is the middle of the inverted hesitation or pause. Think about it...its a roll right so the roll elements are what is important not the hesitations. Yes the hesitations have to be the same but there is not hesitation after the last roll element.



Definition from the rule book is:

Four-Point Roll. Model rolls through 360 degrees, hesitating at each 90 degree point; at each hesitation wings are parallel or vertical to the horizon. Center is middle of inverted flight. Downgrades:

            1. One-quarter rolls more or less           than 90 degrees.

            2. Model does not hesitate after            each one-quarter roll.

            3. Roll rate not constant.

            4. Changes in altitude.

            5. Changes in heading.





Read this carefully model rolls through 360 degrees.....So when its completed its 360 its done add the exit line and go to the next maneuver in the sequence. There are only 3 hesitations but there are (4) 90 degree roll elements. Thus a 4pt roll.





On a normal split S the roll element is completed when the wings hit level this is a 1 of  2pt roll correct for short we call it a 1/2 roll?
In this case its a 2/4 roll. The roll sections define the type of roll not the pause sections. This is the same as with 4pts 8pts and 1/2 rolls. The roll sections determine what kind of roll and these roll portions are the important part not the hesitations.

  To have a 2/4, you need to have two line segments of equal length (obviously with a roll in-between!)  Once the second line segment has been completed, the loop begins immediately.  Does this answer your question?

    In the new schedule for masters is a split S with a 2/4 before the half loop.  

    Question is the half loop right after the second roll or is the second point defined before the loop?

    Thanks,

    Stuart
