INVERTED REVERSE CUBAN EIGHT

Rule Book

INVERTED REVERSE CUBAN EIGHT  The plane enters this maneuver in straight and level inverted flight, pushes up into a 45 degree climb, half rolls to upright and proceeds to outside loop until it is again climbing at a 45 degree angle.  The plane then performs another half roll to upright flight that should cross the flight path of the first roll, then again proceeds to outside loop until it has reached straight and level inverted flight on the same heading and at the same altitude as the  beginning.

Downgrades:

  1. Entry (inverted) is not straight and level  

  2. First roll not on 45 degree line  

  3. First loop not round or deviates to left or right  

  4. Second roll not on 45 degree line       

  5. Middle of second roll does not cross middle point

  6. Second loop not round or deviates to left or right

  7. Second loop not at same altitude

  8. Second loop not same size as first loop

  9. Maneuver not complete at same altitude and on same heading as entry

  10. Plane fails to do straight and level flight at conclusion of first roll of maneuver
