Approx 90 0 TURN Approx TURN DOWNWIND 520m Turnaround: pilot’s choice 150m 300m ZERO LINE - Any flying behind zero line scores zero points. Either TEN or ZERO for take-off sequence. Second attempt at take-off scores zero. Takeoff sequence not followed, zero (0) points. Model takes off outside of the landing zone, zero (0) points. Only two scores a 10 or a 0 may be awarded for the take-off sequence. Takeoff is complete when model has finished turnaround to enter the box. OPTIONAL approx 90 0 TURN Or 270 TURN Approx 90 0 TURN DOWNWIND Takeoff

Changes in heading during half outside loop or half roll. ! Model heading on exit not exactly opposite direction of entry. ! Half outside loop not round – Outside Immelmann Turn, Exit Inverted Straight inverted exit 1/2 loop Straight inverted entry

– 45 deg down 1 negative Snap !Diving path not 45 degrees. !Loop segments not round and of equal size and radius. !Snap not a negative snap scores zero (0). !Snap Roll not centered in diving path !Changes in heading during loops or snap.

Top Hat with 1/4 Rolls, Enter Inverted, Exit Upright 1/4 loop 1/4 loops same radius as at entry/ exit End View ! Model not vertical at start and finish of 1/4 rolls. !1/4 rolls not exactly 90 degrees. ! Model does not fly straight and level inverted and at 90 degrees to the flightline. ! Rolls not centered on line segments. ! Loop segments not round with same size and radius. Inverted across top 1/4 roll up 1/4 roll down

!Loop not round. ! Changes in heading during loop. ! Wings not level during loop. ! Snap roll not 360 degrees. !Roll not snap roll scores zero (0). !Over or under rotation of the snap roll, one point per 15- Degree Rule – Upright Avalanche Straight and evel entry Straight and level exit Pos or Neg snap roll
