[NSRCA-dist7] Clarification on FAI maneuver 1

All maneuvers are preceded and followed by a straight line (horizontal).  To
quote the rule book:
 
All aerobatic manoeuvres are started and ended by a horizontal line of
recognisable distance.

Questions: 
Where does the maneuver start?  At a point in the upright level flight
before the knife edge that is equal to the length of the knife edge?  Is
that part of the level flight considered point 1?

Is any level flight required before the full roll?

Where does the maneuver end?  

Is there still a requirement to have level entry and exits as there was last
time I read a rule book?

Just a little curious.  Not enough to read a rule book.

The official description from the rule book is:

Reverse Split S and Split S Combo, 2/4-pt roll first, full roll second,
inverted exit.

>From upright, perform 2 points of a 4-pt roll, and push immediately to a
half outside loop.  Perform a full
roll, followed immediately by a half outside loop, to exit inverted.

Judging notes:
1.  The outside half loops must follow immediately after the 2/4-pt roll and
roll.
2.  The length of the upper horizontal line (including roll) is equal to the
diameter of the half loops.  The geometric shape is that of a Double
Immelmann.

Hi all,

I'm pretty sure the following isn't correct (IIRC Jason and the Canucks
corrected me on it at Phoenix), because the maneuver isn't a Double
Immelman.  It's probably worth checking on though.

"the lenght of the upper horizontal line (including roll) is equal tothe
diameter of the half loops.
The geometric shape is that of of a Double Immelmann."

Thx, Jerry
