Terminology

[stangflyer]

I tried one today I've seen two people do. Don't remember who they were but looked cool as hell. Don't even know what it's called. Straight and level full tilt. Roll 90 degrees to knife edge then slam the rudder and go straight up. Man it looks cool. Fun too!!! @Flyrcjoe got me hooked on knife edge walls.

how about a list of maneuvers and then we can worry about defining them all at some other time?

i don't ever know what half the stuff is called or how to do it except for the standard acro/pattern stuff.

here's the few i do know

waterfall
harrier (inverted harrier)
rolling harrier
wall (is that one or did i just make that up?)

then there's the 4D stuff guys like RJ do, names might not even exist yet!

Waterfall?

Know what a "Corn Shark" is?

Nope.

Pop top
Death slide
crankshaft
funnel
snake
weeble wobble

Pop-Top and Death Slide, yes. The rest don't know.

Super flusher

???

Some of this lingo is Greek to me or the maneuver is something I've not seen or heard of...Bart is right we need a list and maybe a video demoninstration would be nice too.

I call that a knife edge wall. I actually do it like a 1/4 snap to wall though instead of a 1/4 roll. Its a faster stop since most of my big planes dont have enough rudder authority.

Hey Stang, a Corn Shark is what you see when someone is holding a plane over their head when recovering said downed plane from a corn field. All you see is a fin bobbing in a corn field.

Double flusher, more of a save than a maneuver, but how I fly, every other "maneuver"is a save. Anywho, when it is all said and done, it takes two flushes to, uh, um, "dispose" of the mess. As Bill Cosby said, first you say it, then you do it!

Shark tooth, Humpty bump, Cuban 8.

Dn't forget the Turbo Weasel and now the inverted version the Bavarian Turbo Weasel.
