Hi,

You have to roll such that you exit the maneuver in the right direction.
Figure 9 can be flown in either direction, it doesn't matter, since
in either case you exit in the direction where you came from.

In figure 5, if you for instance have the wind from the right (form B),
and you are flying towards the judges (as drawn on form B), you need to
turn to the right. f you were flying away from the judges, you would
have to turn to the left.

I remember it by visualizing that I have to turn such that my head
points into the box.. That will get me flying into the box after the
hammerhead turn.

Markus and Guenther,
Thanks for the clarification, it helped a lot. Actually with your
explanation I see that it is written in the rulebook....

I have an additional question regarding sides. For instance figure 9 in the
sequence. I understand that I have to roll right (on the vertical) to get
back on track... but which side am I supposed to rotate towards in the stall
turn?

Best regards
Michael Nyrup
