Default RE: Ratchet Roll?

ORIGINAL: bem

example is to roll right to 90degrees (right KE), roll left 45, roll right to 180 (inverted), roll left 45, roll right to 270 (left KE), roll left 45, then roll to upright again
I saw an airshow performer do what his announcer called a ratchet roll and it was along those lines too...Not the two rolls/reverse 4 point/two...

I loved the looks of the ratchet roll I saw and have actually made my own attempts at the R/C field. I found it was a little harder than I expected it would be. Now that you guys bring it up I'll probably be doing them next time out as well... [8D]

Another maneuver I saw at an airshow that I really liked was a 5 point roll...I thought that was awesome lookin'!!

Have Fun...

P.S. If I'm remembering correctly...The ratchet roll I saw he didn't stop at the traditional 90/180/270 angels....He started by rolling left a little then went right to say 100 degrees, then left a little followed by right to 290 degrees...ect...
