  I need a little help understanding the correct execution of the # 1 Maneuver in P-11.

  The Aresti shows the model approaching from the left. As the first radius is completed and the model assumes a vertical track,
  the requirement is to execute 3 points of a 4 point roll centered on the upline with the stall turn executed at the apex of the line.
  Due to the fact that I like to present the canopy to the judges on the stall I will roll left on the upline (trust me, I can do it either way
  and I realize there is no mandate, it's just my own aesthetic preference).
  Now comes the sticky wicket,......on the down line I will be rolling to the right in preparation for the entry radius into the integrated
  1/2 outside. The fact that the 1/4 roll was also centered on the downline will display that outside preparation position for the 1/2 
  duration of the downline. My question is: .........as I enter the bottom radius and start my roll, is there a roll direction requirement?
  If I roll LEFT (which will present the canopy) the judges could easily become confused and think that I'm doing an inside 1/2 loop
  at the bottom, which is really not the case as I had to push to initiate the 1/2 loop. If I roll to the RIGHT the last 1/2 of the loop looks 
  like an inside 1/2 loop. So, I guess my basic question is, am I free to roll according to my whim?   

  I was unable to find any written FAI maneuver descriptions on our site. Is there a link that I'm missing? 

  Thanks Guys,

  Georgie
