6. P-11.03: Two slow rolls in opposite direction: Samedirection - zero points! Pause between rolls is very brief. The two slow rolls must have the same roll rate.

7. P-11.04: Half square loop, snap roll up, inverted exit Snap roll may be positive or negative. If snap roll = barrel roll or aileron roll:Severe downgrade > 5 pts. Snap roll on middle of the line. ( ) All radii are equal.

8. 45° P-11.05: 4-pt. roll on 45 degrees down, inverted exit Roll on middle of the line. 4-pt. roll All radii are equal.

9. P-11.06: Push-push-pull humpty bump, 1/2 roll up, 2/4-pt. roll down Rolls on middle of the line. 1/2 roll 2/4-pt. roll

10. P-11.06: Push-push-pull humpty bump, 1/2 roll up, 2/4-pt. roll down All radii are equal. 1/2 roll 2/4-pt. roll

11. P-11.07: Loop, with 8-pt. roll integrated over top 180 degrees 8-pt. roll must be fully integrated on circular flight path over 180 degrees. 8-pt. roll

12. P-11.08: Half square loop on corner, 2/4-pt. rolls, inverted exit 2/4-pt.roll Rolls on middle of the line. All radii are equal. 2/4-pt. roll

13. P-11.09: ReverseCuban 8, 4/8-pt. roll and 2/4-pt. roll in on 45 degree downlines, inverted exit 2/4-pt. roll 4/8-pt. roll All radii are equal.Rolls on middle of the line.

14. P-11.10: Half loop with 1/2 roll, exit inverted exit Half roll immediately after the half loop. 1/2 roll

15. 4/8-pt-roll 4/8-pt-roll P-11.11: Reverse 8-pt. roll (4/8-pt. rolls in opposite direction), inverted exit Hesitations between all roll segments must be equal. All segments are of equal length.

16. P-11.12: Stall turn, 2/4-pt. roll up, full roll down 2/4-pt-roll 2/4 pt.roll on middle of the line.

17. P-11.12: Stall Turn, 2/4-Punkt-Rolle aufwärts und Ganze Rolle abwärts Pivot on CG Two wing spans or more – zero points! Roll in middle of the line Full roll All radii are equal.

18. P-11.13: Double immelmann, 2/4-pt. roll and full roll, inverted exit 2/4-pt-roll The length of the upper horizontal line (incl. roll) is equal to the diameter of the loops. 2/4 roll immediately after the half loop. Full roll Full roll immediately after the half loop.

19. P-11.14: Figure 9, full roll up Roll on middle of the line Full roll All radii are equal.

20. P-11.15: Opposite knife-edge The knife-edge segments are of equal length, and must be long enough to demonstrate controlled, sustained knife-edge flight. 1/4 roll 1/4 roll 1/2 roll The direction of the rolls is R-L-R or L-R-L

21. P-11.16:Figure 8, full outside loop, ½ loop on top, inverted exit All radii are equal.

22. P-11.17: 2 1/4 inverted spins in opposite directions, with 1/2 roll exit Weather-cocking is downgraded 1pt/15° Snap entry - zero points! Reversal is immediate Forced entry: downgrade. Spiral dive - 0 points! 1/2 roll 1/2 roll is part of the manoeuvre

23. Landing procedure ( not judged, not scored ) The direction of the landing may be different to the take off. wind 1200 security line 4

24. Forget WHO is flying(friend, rival, countryman, flier from other nation) Forget WHAT is flying(2-stroke, 4-stroke, electric, turbine, rubber-power) LOOK ONLY AT LINES DESCRIBED IN THE SKY!(and the precision, smoothness, positioning, and size) Bob Skinner Thank you! Peter Uhlig, Oktober 2008
