10. F-11.07: Snap roll, with 4/8-pt. roll opposite, inverted exit Entire manoeuvre centred on flag (from start to finish) The pause between the snap roll and the 4/8-pt. roll must be very brief. 4/8-pt. roll ( ) If snap roll = barrel roll or aileron roll:Severe downgrade > 5 pts. snap roll

11. 45° F-11.08: Shark tooth, 2/4-pt. roll up, roll on 45 degree downline, inverted exit Full roll Rolls on middle of the lines. 2/4-pt. roll All radii are equal.

12. F-11.09: Inverted rolling loop, integrated 1/2 rolls opposite in each 180 degree half, inverted exit First 1/2 roll and second 1/2 roll must be in opposite directions. Loop must be round. Rolls must be integrated on circular flight path.

13. F-11.10: Outside half square loop, 4/8-pt. roll up, inverted exit 4/8-pt. roll on middle of the line 4/8-pt. roll All radii are equal.

14. F-11.11: Reverse Cuban 8, 2/4-pt. roll, 1 1/2 snap roll, and full roll in 45 degree downlines, inverted exit All radii are equal.2/4 pt. Roll and 1 1/2 snap roll on middle of the lines. If snap roll = barrel roll or aileron roll:Severe downgrade > 5 pts. ( ) 2/4-pt. roll 1 1/2 snap roll

15. F-11.11: Reverse Cuban 8, 2/4-pt. roll, 1 ½ snap roll, and full roll in 45 degree downlines, inverted exit Roll on middle of the line Full roll

16. F-11.12: Inverted half Cuban 8, 1 1/2 roll down, inverted exit 1 1/2 roll on middle of the line 1 1/2 roll

17. 1 1/2 roll All radii are equal.

18. F-11.13: Snap roll, with 4-pt. roll opposite, inverted exit Entire manoeuvre centred on flag (from start to finish) The pause between the snap roll and the 4-pt. roll must be very brief. 4-pt. roll ( ) If snap roll = barrel roll or aileron roll:Severe downgrade > 5 pts. snap roll

19. F-11.14: Push-pull-push humpty bump, 2/4-pt. roll down, inverted exit 2/4-pt. roll on middle of the lines 2/4 pt. roll

20. F-11.14: Push-pull-push humpty bump, 2/4-pt. roll down, inverted exit All radii are equal. 2/4 pt. roll 2/4 pt. roll

21. F-11.15: Cobra roll, 1 ½ snap rolls up and down, inverted exit: Snap rolls on middle of the lines. If snap roll = barrel roll or aileron roll:Severe downgrade > 5 pts. Snap rolls may be in either direction. ( ) ( ) 90° All radii are equal.

22. F-11.16: Outside immelmann turn, 2/4-pt. roll, inverted exit 2/4 roll immediately after the half loop. 2/4 pt. roll

23. F-11.17: Triangle loop, 2/4-pt. rolls in 45 degree down and uplines, snap roll on bottom, 1/2 roll exit 1/2 roll is part of the manoeuvre. 1/2 roll All radii are equal. 2/4 pt. roll 2/4 pt. roll 45° If snap roll = barrel roll or aileron roll:Severe downgrade > 5 pts. ( ) snap roll

25. Forget WHO is flying(friend, rival, countryman, flier from other nation) Forget WHAT is flying(2-stroke, 4-stroke, electric, turbine, rubber-power) LOOK ONLY AT LINES DESCRIBED IN THE SKY!(and the precision, smoothness, positioning, and size) Bob Skinner 2006 Thank you! Peter Uhlig, January 2008
