That's interesting Matt,
<br>I never heard of a Running Eight! It must be like the Ukie horizontal
eight???

<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Hi All,</font></font>
<br>
<br>
<p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>I've been practicing
this maneuver and I'm having trouble getting making it repeatable/consistent/,
etc. So, I took a music CD and drew two circles that have the same
baseline and touch each other at their closest points. If you do
this, you will quickly see that two adjacent circles have no place for
45 degree lines to be drawn in between them. It appears to me from
the drawing that actually you cannot maintain a constant radius AND perform
a 45 degree "LINE" within this maneuver. If you maintained a constant
radius you would never reach a point where you could depart that curve
onto a 45 degree up or downline, and intersect the magic spot on the other
loop at the same radius.</font></font></font>
<br>
<br>
<p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>Am I out to lunch
on this, or do you indeed need different radii: 1.) blending 45 degree
line into loop 2.) looping segment. Or, the loops are not really
supposed to touch each other in the middle, thus there is some distance
between each loop?</font></font></font>
<br>
<br>
<p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>Thanks,</font></font></font>

<p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>The loops should
not touch. Do the maneuver as it is described in the book: 5/8ths to a
45 deg down line, etc, etc.</font></font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>What you actually
sketched is the figure for the Running Eight. That is not the same as a
Cuban Eight</font></font></font>
