[Talkrc] Aerobatic Flyers

[Steve Sterling]

Hi Rick--

All the "Cuban" Eights are done on their side, like the infinity symbol.

So a half cuban, start out straight and level, pull up through a 5/8ths 
loop. At the 5/8ths point, do a short straight line (you will be 
inverted and on a 45 degree downline), then do a half roll to upright, 
continue that straight 45 degree downline a bit, then pull up to level.

Much easier to do than to say.  A reverse half cuban eight, pull up to a 
45 degree angle, climb up for a while, 1/2 roll to inverted, continued 
to 45 degree line for a bit, then pull a loop so you come back up around 
straight and level.

How is the weather over on the wet side?  Great weather day today, but I 
had to work. Tomorrow morning should be good, but the weather girl says 
increasing winds Sat afternoon with worse on Sunday.  We will see....
