From the rulebook. 94-95. Actually describes both 1/2 roll and 1/4
roll<br>

From an AAM article in 1969. I never saw anyone fly this maneuver in
1969 or for many years afterwards and it was optional. Picture seems
to be pretty clear that it was intended to be a rolling loop, not a
loop with a quick 1/2 roll every 90 degrees.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Advanced and Masters are not our entry
classes and should not affect future participation. Those new
to pattern should begin in either Sportsman or Intermediate
depending on skill level. When a flyer feels he is ready to
move up, he will try flying the next class in practice. If it
is too difficult to even see a way to fly that sequence
reasonably, then that pilot was not ready to move up and
should stay in his current class another year (or more). We do
not lose people because they stayed in their current class, we
lose them because they moved up when not ready and find they
are outclassed without the vision, coordination, time to
practice (or name your reason) to be competitive. Not
competitive for winning, just competitive. <br>
Both Masters and Advanced can, and probably will be, changed
next year. Any substantial problems can be addressed then.
Many have tested these sequences. All have have flown them
successfully, if not always happily. We can go on and on about
ugly maneuvers, difficulty levels and dislike of change but
that happens every cycle. <br>
<br>
Just for comparison here are Advanced and Masters from 20
years ago. Overall both appear somewhat easier than the
current sequences we are flying but not a lot. Total KFactors
are a bit lower. Also we are flying many of the same
maneuvers. I hope you noticed the knife edge top of the cobra
in masters. If you go back even further you can find a two
roll loop in the days before retracts...<br>
