I'm a beginning pattern flier and I have some questions about the maneuvers. I have been to the NSRCA site and studied the information there including the descriptions of the maneuvers.

#2 Straight Flight Out (U)
Does it begin immediatly after Takeoff, or is there an unscored turnaround and trimming pass with another unscored turnaround before renetering the box and beginning #2?

Regarding maneuver #5 (Immelmann Turn) going into maneuver #6 (45* Downline)
How much of a pause is necessary before beginning the 45* downline? Is the S&L part of that maneuver immediate after the roll to upright, or is there a distance after I call the Immelmann finished?
Does the center of the downline need to be centered on the judges?

Those are the first 2 of what will likely be many more questions to come as I begin to learn the sequence. Unfrotunately there are no competitive pattern flies in my club (at least that I know about) that can help me learn this sequence.

Thanks for any help you can offer
Bill
