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.

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.

Which ones did I miss? Let me know and I will be sure to get them on the Bold list.
There are some at the bottom of the list that I put in a seperate list. They were terms that were used "Across the pond."
