That illustration is not from the 70’s. In the 1982-83 rulebook the center of the Reverse Point Roll is not specified. Neither is it in the 1984-85 rulebook. I know how I flew it at the 1983 Worlds. 

I’m fine with however it is in the current descriptions. I guess I just missed those pilots meetings at the Nats and Team Trials in the 70’s. You had to be there to appreciate that comment.

So the maneuver starts with a rolling section and ends with a “point” section. So, roll, point, roll, point, roll, point. Then reverse roll, point, roll, point, roll, point. So the center is at the conclusion of the 3rd point where the reverse roll segment begins.
