Knowns Unlimited 2006 Glider

Hi,

The answer to figure 9 is incorrect. The roll rate needs to be the same
throughout. The figure is 1/2 of a 3-roll 360 degree turn. The first
full roll is done in 120 degrees of turn, the 1/2 roll is done in 60
degrees of turn.

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 couldn't remember the name CIVA when I responded.
They are the keepers of the Aresti catalog which explains each family of
maneuvers.

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) ½ roll? I mean the figure only needs ½ 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 1½ roll divided on a 180 degree turn -
that would be hard do right.

Above is correct

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

This why we use pictures (drawings). Universal language.
