RCBunn,

You might enjoy the Flying Cirkus forum we've started to help new pilots be the most competitive they can be in scale aerobatics. Last week's thread is discussing Aresti diagrams.

Good luck in your 2006 contest season!!

Wayne,
Figure 4 is not a Sharks Tooth, it is a Reverse Sharks Tooth with a 1/2 roll on the 45 upline.
We need to get you to the NC Flying and Judging Seminar during the last weekend in April to teach you some Aresti!! (don't forget to bring Larry with you)

And why is it a Reverse Shark's Tooth as opposed to a Shark's Tooth?

Because the 45 degree upline is flown first.

This same logic applies to Half Cubans and Reverse Half Cubans. The 45 degree line is flown first on the reverse maneuver.

A few more details to the Aresti puzzle... :-)

Goo Job Kurt. I was trying to see if someone would catch that.

RCBunn,

As you can see, counting on the "names" of a maneuver is VERY risky. Have your caller tell you to "pull to a 45 upline, center a 1/2 roll on the 45 upline, pull to a downline, pull to exit positive". Forget trying to figure out what's a reverse and what isn't. It only causes confusion, even with very experienced Unlimited class pilots.

Good luck with your 2006 contest season!!

Dean

Flashback to CLINTON IMAC Wayne[&o]

Yes. But you still flew a Hammerhead. LOL

Learned well you have. The Aresti is strong in you.

I still want to hear the figure first, then tell me what to do.
