boogie man is that you actually have to FLY the plane through the
3<SUP>rd</SUP> roll. That has been my problem with 2 rolls is that you
can basically put the nose 5 degrees high and shove the stick over and do 2
rolls. When you add a 3<SUP>rd</SUP> one you actually have to learn to
use the elevator. I have heard of people having problems doing 3 rolls
and it being an “airplane killer,” but I never saw a lost airplane when I was
at contests and when I was flying the old sequences. Frankly if you are
doing 3 rolls and you can’t recover from a problem on the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> roll,
then you need to be flying higher. It was definitely a maneuver that was
great as an essential building block in pattern.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Georgie. Practicing today, just for fun, I did 4 rolls, after a stall
turn, and then entered a half square loop; had plenty room to spare,and at
less than 150 meters out.. When we were doing the 3 rolls before I
recall some people objected not about the space required, but that the 3 rolls
were "too difficult" and "too dangerous." I'd sure like to know what
happens between the second and third rolls that puts a huge danger factor at
the end of the maneuver. I've looked for the boogie man, and just can't
seem to find him.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

been flying intermediate for about 3 years going on 4. The two rolls
are still kicking my you know what. I can do one slow roll and one 4

advance pilot would really have trouble with 3 rolls. I see a lot of
intermediate, advanced and sometimes even masters pilots almost loose
airplanes on the horizontal rolling maneuvers. They shouldn’t be

agree with Mark, lets make advancement at all levels a guideline. I
had to move up from sportsman to intermediate after my first year in
sportsman because I beat 4 other pilots. I was flying a Kaos and the
other pilots were all flying their 1<SUP>st</SUP> contests with
trainers. They had no chance. In the end I’m glade I moved up
but at the time it made me real nervous. I was so determined to fly
pattern that I decided to give it the old college try in

know you’re joking some Bob, but I think you’re actually a great example
of someone that was able to fly a lot, and progressed nicely through the
system, but then when you got to Masters…a time when you really need to
practice even more to be competitive, your job suddenly changed,
home life became more complex, and you’re lucky to fly 10 practice flights
a year outside of contests. Your experience and skill would
allow you to be competitive in Advanced, without dominating and likely
have a lot more fun being a spoiler to that crowd, rather than trying to
fly masters without hardly even knowing the pattern.</SPAN><SPAN

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: black">This is all pretty
interesting. From my perspective, I didn't really care who beat me
when I was in intermediate or advanced. I just knew that I was seeing the
skill level necessary to win. While it's nice to win a trophy in the lower
classes, I understood I wasn't competing against the best pilots
anyway. From what I've seen there is a huge variation of
talent within a class anyway. I've seen Masters pilots fly that
wouldn't win in advanced if they bumped back down (maybe not even in
intermediate). People move up for all kinds of reasons unrelated to
skill level. It's also interesting that we talk about using each
class to improve our flying until we get to Masters, then it appears
nobody wants to improve to FAI. </SPAN><SPAN
