Hi Michael,

Figure 6 was already explained, but for the rolling circle rules are
different!

You have to fly one and a half rolls (1.5) while doing a 180° change of
direction. Because any change in your yaw or rollrate while executing the
rolling circle will mean a deduction of points, the rules are as follows:
For each half roll, you have to make a change aof direction of 60° degrees.
1.5 rolls = 3x60° = 180°

So your inital thoughts where right! Thats how it is flown, judged and
scored.

I won´t have access to the list in the next two weeks, so please contact me
via email if you want to have more details.

Have fun,
Markus

Hi John,
Thanks for your fast answer!

Thanks for the link. I have searched the rulebook but I can't find
information on how such figures should be interpered. I also found the
CIVA rulebook. I think it is a little more detailed when it comes to
descriptions of valid line length etc....

I believe this is a 7/8 loop with a down 45.

Ohh ofcourse... that makes more sense. It has nothing to do with heading
change, I don't know why I interpered it like that....

First 90 degrees of turn inside roll, inverted to inverted, followed by
an outside roll to upright during the second 90 degrees of the 180
degree turn.

Okay... just to be sure... the rollrate in the first 90 degree of the turn
(the inside inverted to inverted roll) will be twice as fast, as the last
(outside) ˝ roll? I mean the figure only needs ˝ a roll to return to
upright and that has to be devided on the last 90 degree of the turn
right?
I thought I had to think of it as a 1˝ roll divided on a 180 degree turn -
that would be hard do right.

I hope my decriptions are understandable - english is not my native
language :-)

Subscribe to the exploder.

I'll try that...

Thanks again!
