DESCRIPTION OF MANOEUVRES USED IN EVENTS BELOW
HORIZONTAL EIGHT
From level flight the model completes a full 360 degree turn followed by a full 360 degree turn in the opposite direction. Height should be constant during both turns.
RUNNING EIGHT
From level flight the model pulls up into a ¾ loop (until heading vertically down), then pushes (down elevator) into a complete outside loop (until heading vertically down again), then pulls into a ¼ loop to level flight.
INVERTED HORIZONTAL EIGHT (OR INVERTED EIGHT)
The same as the Horizontal eight, but the aircraft is inverted throughout the whole manoeuvre.
CUBAN EIGHT
Starting from level flight, model pulls up into a loop until inverted at 45 degrees downward, then half rolls to upright, still in 45 degree downward attitude, then again loops until inverted at 45 degrees downward, then pulls out to level flight. The top of the two loops should be at the same height!
VERTICAL EIGHT
Model starts from level flight, pulls up into 1 complete inside loop, and then pushes down(down elevator) to complete 1 bunt.
VERTICAL SQUARE EIGHT
Same as vertical eight, but each loop square.
OUTSIDE LOOP
Starts from level flight, inverted. Model pushes (down elevator) into a 360 degree loop. The bottom of the model is inside the loop.
