|
1. Takeoff |
|
 |
| |
|
This lasts 1¼ laps. The aircraft should run along the ground before rising smoothly over one lap, just like a real plane. |
|
|
| |
|
2. Level flight |
|
|
| |
|
Level flight is judged over the next three laps. There is no break between stunts 1 and 2. |
|
|
| |
|
3. Climb and dive |
|
|
| |
|
You should try to get the aircraft vertical for a top score.
After the climb, you can fly around at the upper level until you are ready to dive; or you can return to a lower level and climb up again gradually when you are ready to dive. |
|
|
| |
|
4. Wingover (with upright pullout) |
|
|
| |
|
Aim for smooth equal corners. Enter and exit at the same level with straight flight overhead. |
|
|
| |
|
5. Single inside loop |
|
|
| |
|
Round loops score the best. Exit and entry should be at the same level. |
|
|
| |
|
6. Three consecutive inside loops |
|
|
| |
|
Same as single loop but try to superimpose each loop on top of each other. |
|
|
| |
|
7. Three laps inverted flight |
|
|
| |
|
You may enter inverted flight any way you choose. SCoring starts after the aircraft passes the judges for the second time inverted. |
|
|
| |
|
8. Single outside loop |
|
|
| |
|
This manoeuvre is best entered from inverted flight, the reverse of an inside loop. |
|
|
| |
|
9. Lazy eight |
|
|
| |
|
Try to exit and enter at the same point. Both sides of the eight should be the same shape.
Note: unlike in the F2B pattern the eight is not two circles and the first or inside loop is on the left, not the right. |
|
|
| |
|
10. Landing |
|
|
| |
|
Land as smooth as possible. |
