No need to do this 600ft tall unless you want to!

Hi Malcolm,
Good to hear from you. I was beginning to think no one was flying FAI anymore.
Yes, we looked at those alternatives. Originally I thought the bottom of the V had to be at the same altitude as the entry and exit. But the alternatives all make the maneuver taller. My point was that with fairly large loops you still have a very short distance/time to perform the half roll with a straight line entry and exit. If you make the loops smaller to decrease the total height of the maneuver that distance/time gets even shorter. How are the guys on your side of the pond doing it?
Jim
