Unfortunately it took instituting a rule stating if there was more than one plane in the air circuits were mandatory and no reversing maneuvers.
Hmmmmm........ Not being able to perform a simple loop if more than one plane was in the air would really suck.
doing a loop while in the pattern is similar to doing a U-turn in a busy street..... it increases the odds of a collision [:'(]
imagine you pour your heart and soul and tons of hard earned money into a $5,000 40%er or a 15k+ turbine jet and you get shot down by a 300 dollar funfly plane [:@]
when i feel the need to do a cuban 8, a spin, or something crazy, i just fly out of the pattern or do it above it.... id hate to be the guy that no one enjoys flying with,the guy who is frowned upon, or the guy who caused a crash
