"Somewhere in the 3/4 loop portion" is awfully vague and
unjudgeable. I could buy anywhere in the 3/4 loop portion but not
somewhere.<br>
The center you are describing would appear to be affected somehow by
the entry and exit lines of the maneuver as per your description in
the March K-Factor. I don't see that. This maneuver(figure 9) could
be described as a single loop with a straight vertical line between
the first quadrant and the last three quadrants. What rolls occur do
not affect that basic shape. That places the center of the maneuver
at the initial pullup into a quarter loop just as it would for a
simple loop. The apex of the 3/4 loop would also be on the
centerline and so would the return to level flight at the exit.<br>
As far as the straight line entry and exit being somehow offset, I
don't see that either. The entry line ends at the quarter loop
pullup and exit line begins upon completion of the 3/4 loop. Those
two points should form a vertical line. I see that as the maneuver
centerline as well.<br>
It's certainly true that the aresti shows the wrong center and it is
certainly true that the sub-committee chair has the last word but he
should be using a better word than "somewhere".<br>

shouldn’t be confusing at all… the center of the maneuver is

How much more simple can it get? The statement that the
“middle should be somewhere in the ¾ loop portion” is
correct – depending on the size of the ¾ loop which must
match the radius of the ¼ loop from horizontal to vertical
when the maneuver starts. That center portion will change
for every pilot as each pilot will fly it differently.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Would
love to see a review of maneuver 13 of the Finals
sequence. In the March Kfactor the center was described as
"should be the middle of the maneuver somewhere in the ¾
loop portion." While the many outside the US see it that
the loop is centered and the Aresti in the latest FAI
sporting code show the upline being centered.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
