Pull / push 1/2 loop to verticle downline, pull / push 1/4 loop to straight and level in the opposite direction of entry.
Can be entered and exited from upright or inverted.
Options. Flying straight and Level pull / push 1/4 loop to verticle upline, perform 1/4 roll, pull /push to 1/2 loop
to verticle downline, perfom 1/4 roll, push /pull 1/4 loop to exit straight and level in opposite direction as entry.
This is a cross box option which allows the pilot to move the plane either closer to or farther from the flightline.
But how would this allow an A-10 to be lined up again on the tank he just shot at? I had a chance to watch the Indiana Air Guard fly over a practice field and they performed a reverse Cuban 8, but not one that you would want to have judged
. Still its an impressive aircraft to watch fly, and amazing maneuverability considering its size.
In a true Split-S the model performs one-half (1/2) roll in
level flight then immediately executes one-half inside loop to level flight in opposite direction as entry. The reverse Cuban 8 requires a pilot to pitch the plane up.
