I don’t believe there is a requirement (in FAI) for the rate of the ½ roll
to match the rate of the 1/4rolls.

 

Regards,


Dave

It will also be difficult to match the roll-rates of the non-point roll
elements.

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
