<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any FAI guys (gals) going to Omaha this
weekend? The Vert. 8 with 'integrated' half roll--Local judges vary on
when the roll starts and stops. If I start it up at the 45 degree point as
shown in a judges guide; I'm having a hard time making it look natural. If
I come down just before the tangent, roll with the wings vert. at the tangent
and let it fall slightly as the roll is completed, it looks better. I'll
keep working on it if we are truly supposed to start way up there--or is that
just a REPRESENTATION to denote it's gotta start SOMEWHERE b4 the
tangent? To do it the way it's depicted--you are in effect catching the
bottom of a knife edge loop and the nose would actually be pointed slightly
positive to the horizon. I haven't seen anyone really do it well around
here with my limited exposure this year.</FONT></DIV>
