Cuban 8, does it start at the bottom half loop 45 then roll? or 45 roll pull?

Not sure exactly what you're asking but all maneuvers start and end with a straight horizontal line. So the Cuban 8 starts with the straight line entry.

Starts at bottom, 5/8ths loop to 45 degree downline, with a half roll in the middle of the downline. That's a half Cuban 8. For a full Cuban 8, enter the second 5/8ths loop at the bottom of the downline (same level as entry) and do another half roll in the middle of the downline and then radius to exit at the same entry level.

Very helpful link Rune.
Thank you

The one you decribed is the reverse cuban eight, starts in the middle, the cuban 8 star at the end with the loop then dive 45 in to a roll.

Bob almost got it right....actually the second loop is not 5/8ths but 3/4ths loop. Plane flies past center, completes a 5/8ths loop, establishes a 45 down line, as it approaches center it initiates a half roll, completes the diagonal, proceeds with a 3/4 loop to the second 45 down diagonal.....etc.

Stavros ribbon drawing seems to show the half rolls before the diagonal intersects and that's misleading. Otherwise the sketch is very helpful. The half rolls must occur at the ceter of the diagonal lines as Bob wrote. The rolls must intersect at knife edge on center. For a complete list of downgrades go to the NSRCA website, under Judging or maneuvers, and look it up

Roy right its not a reversed Cuban 8!
but i think rest is right!

If it starts with a 45deg climb/dive then roll is a reverse Cuban eight, if it start with the loop is a Cuban 8, I guess I read it wrog on the first post.

Oops, I see what you mean... the second loop actually begins on the way down to the entry level and so is 1/6 loop plus 5/8ths loop, which equals 3/4 loop.
