UNKNOWNS!!!! UNKNOWNS FOR BASIC?!?!?!?!?! Dude, I think Im in the wrong region. This is gonna look more like a warbirds event than an IMAC competion for Basic.

EHHH, SCREW IT!!! BRING THAT **** ON BILL. I can take anything your throw at me!

I wasnt either at first. But I guess along with alernate knowns, you can also get alternate unknowns if you request them.

OK everyone, I'm gonna design a separate unknown just for Frank, it's gonna have 3/4 rolls all over the place so we are going to see just how good his rudder skills are as well

As a matter of fact, I need to design a separate one for Neil as well We gotta slow him down somehow...

I hope you know I was only kidding but just in case, this is something Pete Castine did at the first Butcherfest back in 2007. He called it a "short Unknown" He had them for all classes but this one was for the basic pilots and you would be surprised just how hard it is.

This is how I wrote it up for someone on RCu 2 years ago and it will certainly help you with rolls and show you how good you are on the rudder. As I said before, your flying is truly coming along well.

The key to doing what is below is the second set after the hammer MUST be done exactly the opposite of the first one

Quote:

Here we go these are all rolls followed by a hammer and then all rolls,

To lay it out like a caller would call it and flying left to right

In the box

3 of 4 to the right
1/2 roll to the left
3 of 4 to the right

Hammer (nothing up or down)

3 of 4 to the left
1/2 roll to the right
3 of 4 to the left

Out of the box

Thirty seconds. We went like this, he went like that. I said to Hollywood, "Where'd he go?" Hollywood says, "Where'd who go?"

Yep, that's about how my roller looks right now. My brain knows what to do but my thumbs just won't do what they are told
