[NSRCA-discussion] 2015 proposed sequences

[John Gayer]

 From the rulebook. 94-95. Actually describes both 1/2 roll and 1/4 roll





 From an AAM article in 1969. I never saw anyone fly this maneuver in 
1969 or for many years afterwards and it was optional. Picture seems to 
be pretty clear that it was intended to be a rolling loop, not a loop 
with a quick 1/2 roll every 90 degrees.
