They are incorrect because Aresti says that after the half-roll one is looking at the bottom of the plane and if you want a push to verticle then the line after the half roll becomes a red-dashed line - not a solid black line. If you look at maneuvor number 7, the part of the element after the half-roll is a partial inside loop (i.e.5/8 loop) and the plane remains upright. I do not disagree with what is flown only the "as written" partial line which I maintain should be a red-dashed line! What say you? Anyone else? How about the sequence writers? Thank you for responding. Bobby aka TDD

Hey Bobby.
How have you been..

I understand what your asking but in those maneuvers the G load on the pilot remains the same after the 1/2 roll or the 2/4 in the upline.
I believe that is why the lines are solid.

Mabe a sequence writer could answer this for sure though..

[mflander]

Yes I would like to know this also....

[The Dirt Doctor]

I talked with one of the sequence writers about this. It turns out that the VISIO program used to build the sequence is closely tied to the CIVA catalog hence obeys all the aerobatic rules. That means that you can't look at just a small piece of the maneuvor but that you have to look at the whole maneuvor. Wayne is on the right track.

The bottom line is that I thought too much (i.e. read too much into it)! The maneuvors are correct as written and I stand corrected as well.

Thanks Wayne,

I'm trying my first Basic this year and that really helped explain the questions I had

Cool.
Thats why they are here.

[LivFree&FlyHard]

yeah, I'll be rnning it on a Funtana X50

Is that a good plane for these IMAC sequences?

Thanks

[Wayne]

That plane will be fine in Basic.
Any class above Basic will require a model that replicates a full scale aerobatic plane.

[KIM]

so would a 86inch chipmunk be ok

[Wayne]

You could fly a Chipmunk in all classes.

[Craven]

or a squirrel

or a rabbit

ok, thanks

I actually do have one unanswered question, at the end of the Basic sequence, what are the 2 triangles right next to each other with 2 lines to the side, what aerobatic move is meant to be performed at that time?

Thanks

[Wayne]

The last maneuver?

Its a 1-1/2 turn positive spin.
the large triangle represents a single turn.
The smaller one represents a 1/2 turn.
The lines to the side mean they are linked making the maneuver 1.5 rotations.

[LivFree&FlyHard]

so basically a 1 and 1/2 roll to the right descending nose down?

[Wayne]

No.
Watch the video again and read this article on spins.
