Giant Jargon - The FG Dictionary

[Gus155]

Huckaholic: A person who has dificulty remaining more than 3times the wingspan of the plane for extended periods of time.Exceptions are made for Blenders, waterfalls, KE Spins, Parachutes, Roller-Coasters and similar moves. These should all end at about 10 feet above ground.

For example, a 102" yak should not be flown in a lame manner at an altitude exceeding 306" for extended period of time.

(DIRT BRAKES) when the landing is so hard it rips off the gear. pretty much when the plane is forced down instead of actualy letting the plane land. every club has one of these guys.

KANGAROO = at least 3 or more bounces when landing

Great job on the list.

The 2 & 3 channel and on/off refference as to pilots who fly WOT or off, we have called "Flying Switch" as in, its not a throttle, its a switch. Similar to the on/off.


Roller Coaster On a down line, the plane is switching back a forth between upright and inverted flight. The almost goes from an upright Harrier to inverted Harrier.

Need to correct this one. That is a Falling Leaf, however most know as a Tick Tock. Falling Leaf is QQ's term. QQ also had the Roller Coster, however a different type of trick. Its more of a reverse cuban eight with snaps that reverses directions. It was described in a mag a few years ago.
