[NSRCA-discussion] Cobra rolls

[Don Ramsey]

BTW, why is Masters maneuver 17 call a “Cobra Roll” anyway?  It has nothing to do with a roll.  A better name might be “Cobra”.

"Loop" equals 360 degrees.  Would not "roll" also equal 360 degrees?

 

In AMA, 2 point roll, 4 point roll, and 8 point roll all convey a full rotation with no change in direction. 

 

Unless AMA adopts the FAI style of describing rolls, it seems a roll should be a roll?

Just looked at the maneuver description, and it doesn't specify roll direction.
