  Snap and a half at top of box, from knife - Lets use that right after we get a handle on judging more visible snaps.  <G>      Other than that, I'd call it a candidate for the Sequence Group.

  I think it would be a good maneuver without the snap at the top.  The F3A Knife Edge Loop is a K-5 maneuver and this is a half knife edge loop with other difficulty added.

  Looks like a light bulb.

  George if it is to be flown with equal radiuses it looks considerably different than the attached drawing. An equal R drawing is attached here.

  In any case it would be interesting to fly.

  I've been thinking about this maneuver for quite a long time and thought I'd pass it along for consideration by the Sequence Proposal guys.



  It's meant to be a Masters level maneuver and while it contains no integrated rolling elements it has some challenging elements. It's a center

  maneuver like an M and requires a deft hand to present with symmetry and grace while still being a "safe type" execution maneuver, in that it's a

  looping maneuver performed AWAY from ground level from an upright position with an upright exit, so the pucker factor is minimized.



  It's called an Omega, which should be easily understood by it's apparent shape. Here's how it goes.  See what you think :





  We're approaching center flying from left to right. At a point before center, a distance equal to 1/4 the radius of the loop, the model pulls through

  a radius of 135 degrees to a 45 degree up line and immediately pushes into the arc of an outside loop which is flown to the nine O'Clock position

  where the model performs a 1/4 roll to knife edge and continues the radius of the loop to the 12 O'Clock position where the model performs a One

  and one-half snap and continuing the loop radius to the 3 O'Clock position where the model once again performs a 1/4 roll and immediately pushes

  to complete the remaining looping segment and completing the maneuver by pulling through a 135 degree radius to exit in upright level flight.



  There's nothing really hard here guys, but the maneuver does demand respectable concentration. Think of it as a strangely entered loop with a knife-

  edge loop across the top 180 degrees with a snap and a half avalanche at the top. Roll and snap direction are pilot's option.



  Don't be too quick to discount it. I've only done it on the Sim, but if I can do it, it should be cake for the Masters guys.
