1. Buy a fancy radio that has many stick position operated functions. Futaba works best, as we all know all the "good" flyers use Futaba. Plus you get to wear those cool orange shirts-you know those ones that do not seem to macth any color combo, but hey wtf, we are just uncoordinated airplane geeks (Futaba needs Queer Eye for the Straight Guy help here...but thats another subject).
</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">2. Get a plane that squeaks when snapping. This ensures to the judge that you did indeed snap or there would not be a squeak. Even squeaks made in China are acceptable.</font>
<br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">3. Get an electric power source (for the prop). Only really good flyers that are serious have the money, time, and insurance to use this technology, therfore the judge sees this as "good".
</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">4. Canvass this "list" and create propoganda to increase the weight limit so you can actually get a chance to do your snaps at the NATS-legally.</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">
5. Most Important- Develop a "Halo" effect so you can do cheatin' on the line snap with out getting zeroed.</font> <br><br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Personally....I am working on step #1</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">

That's pretty good for a "newbie" (I'm starting to wonder ;-) ), two fire storms in just two questions.</font> <br><font size="3"> </font> <br><font face="Arial" size="2">LOL.</font> <br><font size="3"> </font>
<br><font face="Arial" size="2">The short answer, make two 180 degree turns and land on the runway without rolling off the side or pieces flying off your airplane and you'll get a ten. Notice, that I didn't say you couldn't crash on the runway, to do so is entirely legal and you'll still get a ten as long as all parts stay in tack.

After the Double Immelman without rolls (U) I will be flying upwind and then exit the box if I am understanding this correctly.</font> <br><font size="3"> </font> <br><font face="Arial" size="2">How should I get from there to landing?
