in literal aresit-ease, the direction of any cross box figure is at the pilot's option. however, that is for full scale, and that sometimes doesn't work for toys, as evidenced by the 180 degree roller in advanced. the direction of cross box exit is often announced at the pilots' meeting, and no sane CD wants an airplane turning into the flightline. it is a good question for a pilot's meeting if it has not been previously addressed. as for the execution, read aresti's description carefully because a knife edge turn is within the rules. it looks goofy but it cannot be downgraded for excessive bank angle. what the judges want to see is an established bank angle, constant radius, and constant altitude. all that being said, it is a very low k figure and it there is very little reward in doing one well.
