Default RE: SIMLA BUILD THREAD

ORIGINAL: RFJ

I assume that Ed designed the Simla with the intention of flying at the FAI World Aerobatic Championships in 1965 in Sweden. If so then, as far as I know, this was the schedule he would have flown with the Simla had he made the team.

1)Take Off
2)Procedure Turn
3)Stall Turn
4)Immelman
5)Three Inside Loops
6)Three Outside Loops
7)Reversal( Split-S)
8)Two Opposite Rolls
9)Tail Slide
10)Horizontal Eight
11)Cuban Eight
12)Vertical Eight
13)Straight Inverted
14)Inverted Eight
15)Vertical Roll
16)Three Turn Spin
17)Landing Approach
18)Landing

Hi again Ray. I believe Ed was the manager of the 1965 team. We know he flew the Simla in the 1965 NATS and didn't place well. It would be interesting to get a list of the 1965 NATS maneuvers. Tom Brett also flew in the '65 NATS and didn't place high. He flew the TBX.
