THREE HORIZONTAL ROLLS

Rule Book

THREE AXIAL ROLLS  The model enters from a straight and level flight and rolls on its axis to the right or left until three complete rolls are performed.  The recovery must be on the same heading and altitude as the entry.  Downgrades:

  1. Model not level at the start of the rolls

  2. The path traced out by the model is not a straight line.  i.e. the plane does barrel rolls or suffers changes in heading

  3. Roll rate not uniform throughout three rolls

  4. Pause between rolls

  5. Sudden changes in heading between rolls

  6. The axis of the fuselage veers out at an angle to the flight path

  7. Plane changes altitude during rolls

  8. Plane does not do exactly three rolls

  9. Plane is not level at end of rolls

  10. Plane fails to do level flight at end of rolls
