Ok, I'm at the field, just flew through the proposed advanced pattern. My first thought was: this is pretty boring. My next thought was: the 2 loops can't be flown as described. The description of the maneuver makes the rolls not integrated into the loop. The only way I can keep the rolls at the speed I want them is to integrate them into the loop. I did that, and it looked ok for my first try, but it didn't meet the description. So then I flew it doing the rolls as fast as I could to try and meet the description. It still can't be done as described because you get a flat spot at the top, and the loops get out of round. Bottom line, that maneuver needs to go.
What if they change the two stall turns for a figure M but instead of doing 3/4 up like in masters do it 1/4 up, 1/4 down and half inside loop in between. Is the same elements as the two stall turns but different directions (and it looks better
). Change the two loops with rolls for an upwind avalance. Last do a triangle loop (or square loop form corner) with rolling elements where the avalanche was.
