New Maneuver?

[Surfer Dude]

Sounds like the maneuver we called the Leyland after Jon Leyland did this back in 2004/2005 at XFC. Its a really tight inside rolling circle.

The Leyland shuffle.

Is this what you're talking about at the 5:00 mark?

Sorry. It didn't embed right the first time. Fixed it.

Good Lord, it's a wonder that poor plane doesn't explode in mid air. LOL... Quite the throwin'....

Nah. That was a weak flight. That plane only had two very short flights on it the weekend before to trim out and shake down. That was around the fourth or fifth flight. Still had a bit of getting acquainted with it to do. They will take repeated beatings. That wasn't close to stressing that sucker.

Very strange I find it, that planes of yesteryear weighed more, were built like a Sherman tank, and couldn't even withstand 1/10 the beatings we put on our airframes of today. Ain't life great? LOL

We were calling that maneuver a Dirty Torque Roll.  You can start more vertically in torque roll and let the circle that the tail makes get larger and larger until the fuse is more flat and it's a harrier.  Along with the weeble wobble, probably my favorite maneuver(s).
