<DIV>The Figure-9 as, an end box maneuver, allows the pilot to make the vertical
line suit the needs of the next maneuver. As Matt says the half roll is centered
in the vertical down-line. [The vertical line begins when the three-quarter loop
ends and the quarter loop begins] The roll can be "right at, above or
below where the three-quarter loop starts". Said another way, the
horizontal entry point to the three-quarter loop is not related to any
components, such as a half roll, on the down line.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The snap at the bottom of the loop is an upright positive snap so it cause
the attitude of the nose to pitch up but due to gravity the track stays pretty
much on course. You will find that you snap just before the bottom of the loop
and add power as you come out of the snap.</DIV>

<DIV>Sure its a challenge but you are called a Masters pilot, because you meet
and master the challenge.</DIV>

<DIV>Ed, the radii in any maneuver including the end-stage Fig 9, shall be the
same. Since the Fig 9 is an end-stage maneuver, it's a height adjusting
maneuver. The roll should be performed on the center of the vertical line,
meaning right at, above or below where the 3/4 loop started, depending on the
size of both the loop and the vertical.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any snap should show a "break". Since the snap is an inside snap in the
Rev Ava, showing a very quick break shouldn't be a problem, if you use sticks
for the snap. Also, you might want to hold elevator a bit longer than in last
years's snaps, so that the nose will finish high. In essence, you are burrying
the snap on purpose. This is easier to do right than some of the other stuff
we've done.</DIV>

<DIV>Hey everyone. Have a couple "picky" questions on the figure 9 and
avalanche.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) On the figure 9, is it an "altitude adjusting" manuver?
By this I mean does the 1/2 roll have to be centered on the horizontal line
the manuver started on? Another way of looking at it is does the size
of the 3/4 loop dictate where the 1/2 roll should be or does the length of
the vertical line from the end of the 3/4 loop to the start of the 1/4 loop
pullout dictate the centering of the 1/2 roll?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A person start at a medium height, then do a huge 3/4 loop, not leaving
enough room to center the 1/2 roll on the horizontal line with equal before
and after lengths, so do the roll early(above the horizontal starting point)
but keep the roll centered in the downline.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) Does the radius of the 3/4 loop have to be the same radius as
the 1/4 loop pullout?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3) On the reverse avalanche. If we are to maintain the
radius of the loop, how do we keep a slight downward radius when having to
pitch up for a positive snap, then 1/2 way through the snap begin a very
slight upward radius while finishing the snap. Just food for
thought. I think the bigger the manuever the better to hide this
little radii problem. Any other thoughts.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance.</DIV>
