<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Read all the thread...interesting comments.
So far, I've found it to be kind of a loopy thing....seems like a lot of
different radii loops, part loops, etc....a couple of interesting
things...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 1. The Immelman before the
Vertical 8....if you like a mid-entry, that has to be a pretty small
Immelmann.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 2. The Figure 9 - a lot
like in FAI - it can be deceivingly-close to the edge of the box...and one has
to manage the size closely or ELSE...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 3. The Top Hat...you
better be positiioned to go OUT on this guy, which means the stuff BEFORE has to
be in close - which, BTW, is all the loopy stuff that we LOVE to make nice and
large. LIke Jim W. already pointed out - this whole sequence can end up at
the ends of the earth if not well managed for the very first Stall Up
maneuver....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 4. The Rev. Avalanche -
those of us with large slower styles, and good-braking props can get it slow
enough to not worry about part-shedding. If you have a cleaner design
that builds energy on down loops...well...you WILL bend parts and possibly break
parts. AND - as Gene M. pointed out - if an engine hiccup occurs - YOU'RE
DEAD. End of story.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It will be interesting to observe how some of the
presentation gets judged.</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
