Good explanation- followup question. I have flown the current Advanced sequence which has, maneuver #7: Immelman followed by, #8, an 8-sided outside loop from top. I don't fly in contests often enough to be sure- can you confirm my interpretation that:

#7, Immelman- judging of this maneuver ends after the roll when plan is wings level.

The line between #7 and #8 is judged

#8, eight sided loop- while technically the manuever may start with the first 1/8 loop- in fact, any errors in the line between the end of the immelman and the start of the 8 sided loop would be applied to the following manuever, in this case the 8 sided loop.

So- if I'm right, the beginning of judging of the loop starts at the end of the preceding maneuver.

Thanks-
