I hope to get out and get through it a couple of times before I go into hibernation for the winter. It looks like it will be a fun sequence to fly, although, hating snap rolls as I do, the cuban 8 will be the maneuver I have to let grow on me. While in Richland, I discovered that a healthy blast of throttle at the end of the snap and a half on the triangle was a good way to yank the nose back on line, not sure that's what I want to do in the middle of a eight. The reverse knife edge will be interesting to roll to inverted, like you say old habits die hard. My biplane should give a little advantage on the stall turn with 4 pt. down, the extra drag will help keep from finishing the verticle before finishing the 4
points.</SPAN></div>

I like it, some different stuff<BR>and some easier stuff.<BR><BR>#2 - The clover needs to be big to offer
room for the horizontal roll. Start<BR>the first R about where we started the current 'M'.<BR>#3 - Full roll up w-2 of 4 down, not a problem.<BR>#4 - Reverse slow rolls seams easier than either the 3-R reversed or 4 of 8<BR>/ slow roll combination we currently fly, just start far enough out to have<BR>room.<BR>#5 - 2 point half square, not a problem.<BR>#6 - 'Z' with w-2 of 4 is a welcome new addition. Here is where I start<BR>talking about "Standard Radiuses". Assuming a Base to Top line altitude =<BR>1R, the 'Z' should probably have a 1/4 to 1/3 R.<BR>#7 - Humpty w-option, not a problem.<BR>#8 - Triangle loop with 1/2 Rolls, fun maneuver. Again small R works well.<BR>#9 - Stall turn w-2 of 4 up / 4 pt down. Take it all the way to Top altitude<BR>and use the whole box.<BR>#10 - Top hat w-2 of 4 U & D & negative snap on the top. Start plenty soon<BR>and don't linger on the up line before rolling or the top will be short. I<BR>needed to use
horizontal flight power and may need to tweak the curve some<BR>to get a consistent snap. Snap finish is the same as our current triangle 1<BR>1/2 snap to inverted.<BR>#11 - Humpty Bump w- 3/4 U & 1/4 D easy but needs the 1/4 roll away from<BR>center to finish inverted.<BR>#12 - 8 Sided loop, not a problem.<BR>#13 - Full roll / half outside loop. Make this go all the way to Top<BR>altitude; it will be needed for the next turnaround.<BR>#14 - Rev-Cuban w- 1 1/2 snap and 4 of 8. The snap is nearly identical as<BR>the top of the current triangle, easier than expected.<BR>#15 - Figure '6' w-1/2 roll D. This is where we need the full height (Top -<BR>Bottom). The radiuses need to be 1/2 R leaving a line length of 1 R to<BR>squeeze in 2 short lines and a half roll; don't linger before rolling. Be<BR>sure the bottom 3/4 outside loop takes you back to mid altitude, its needed<BR>on the next turnaround.<BR>#16 - Reverse knife-edge with a 1/4 roll to inverted
finish. Old habits are<BR>hard to brake and I need to focus on which way to roll for the inverted<BR>finish.<BR>#17 - 3/4 '8' Not a problem 1/2 R's touch the bottom and finish at top<BR>altitude.<BR>#18 - Now I get another chance to learn how to count. 2 1/2 turn spin w-2 of<BR>4 exit. Not a problem for those who can count.<BR><BR>K-Factor is 1 less and it seams easier to fly than that. Its fun to fly!<BR>Makes me want to go out every day again.<BR>For what its worth!<BR>Jim<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-dist8 mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:NSRCA-dist8@lists.nsrca.org" ymailto="mailto:NSRCA-dist8@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-dist8@lists.nsrca.org</A><BR>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-dist8<BR><BR><BR></DIV></DIV></div></body></html>
