Rolling circles for Advanced? I was thinking a knife edge circle, 1/4 roll in & out. Is that too tame?
Must admit, having writen it, I did think may be a bit too much - just because I can do them, doesn't mean everyone can. Plus the direction is dependent upon the wind, most people are better in one direction than the other (but then a good flyer should be able to do all manouvers in either direction).
Knife edge circle, actually up until recently I think I would have preferred the rolling circles!!
Hmm presume both would be a bit too much[&:]. Toss a coin if you cant decide! Only thing I would add is that more variation is available with a rolling circle. (ie number of rolls, type of rolls etc). Knife edge circle is more about precision, only variation would be do you start belly or canopy towards you. Depends on the other manouvers around it I suppose.
I understand that this year the current Freestyle champion will be using a model from the YT range which is an ARTF and not a Capiche 140 having compared the price to the Capiche 140 it seems to be a much better value plane and the quality of the YT models are excellant .
YT have made a big thing about their plane being designed by the Freestyle Champ (who wouldn't that is what they paid for), but Ali will use which ever plane he thinks he can win with. Whether that is the C140 or not, who can tell. He had the prototype Adrenaline at the comp last year, but did not compete with it.
