2 INSIDE LOOPS
Model pulls up and executes two (2) consecutive loops; all loops shall be round and superimposed.
Downgrades
1. Loops not round
2. Loops not Superimposed
3. Wings not level during loops
4. Changes in heading during loops
Advanced Option
Advanced Option
SPLIT-S Half roll to inverted with immediate half loop back to upright flight. Model must lose altitude an-make 180-degree change in heading. Downgrades: 1. Model not level at start 2. Model deviates left or right during half loop 3. Half loop not completed exactly above point of commencement of half loop 4. Half roll does not commence immediately after half loop 5. Plane deviates from a straight line during roll 6. Model does not finish in level flight 7. Model heading does not finish exactly opposite the direction of entry 8. Half loop not round | |||
Advanced Option
6. DOUBLE IMMELMAN Model commences in straight and level flight, pulls into half an inside loop followed by a half roll to upright, does approximately 1 second of level flight followed by 1/2 outside loop, then followed by a half roll to upright, recovering in straight and level flight on the same heading and at the same altitude as the entry.
1.Entry not straight and level 9. Half outside loop not round or same size as first half loop
2. First half loop not round 10. Model deviates left or right during half loop
3. Model deviates left or right during half loop 11. Half loop not completed exactly below starting point
4. Half loop not completed exactly above starting point 12. Half loop not completed exactly below starting point loop
5. Half roll does not start immediately after half loop 13. Final half roll longer or shorter than first half roll
6. Roll is not on a straight line and 180 degrees heading 14. Model does not finish on same heading and at same
from entry altitude as entry
7. Plane goes immediately into outside loop upon 15. Plane fails to do straight and level flight at end of
completion of half roll Maneuver
8. Plane holds straight flight too long before going to outside loop
STALL TURN: The model starts from straight and level flight and noses up to a vertical position, yaws through 180 degrees, then dives along a parallel path and finishes the maneuver with the plane level at the same altitude as the entry.
Downgrades:
1. Model not level at start
2. Does not become exactly vertical
3. Turns left or right during pull up
4. Does not yaw tightly through 180 degrees
5. Return path more than two (2) wing-spans from entry path
6. Return path not parallel to entry path
7. Maneuver not finished at same altitude as entry
8. Plane not level at finish of maneuver
9. Model does not fly straight and level to complete maneuver
Advanced Option
DOUBLE STALL TURN
The model begins by performing a Stall Turn, as described above*. At the bottom of the pull-out, the plane pulls up, thus completing half of an inside loop, at which point a second Stall Turn is executed, followed by a quarter-loop pull-out. The two Stall Turns may be performed in opposite or the same directions with regard to the ground.
Downgrades:
1. Model not flying straight and level at beginning and end of maneuver.
2. Model does not become exactly vertical at points of turn.
3. Half-inside-loop not round and consistent in heading.
4. Bottom part of loop not at same altitude as entry and finish.
5. Model turns left or right during pull-ups.
6. Does not yaw tightly through 180º.
7. Return paths more than two wingspans from entry path.
8. Return paths not parallel to entry path.
9. Maneuver not finished at same altitude as entry.
Advanced Option
