CRodin Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Sportsman 2003 comments" 11-25-02, 04:46z  I've tried the 2003 Sportsman routine a couple of times and I have a few questions: 1. Figure 6: Should the top altitude be the same at the top of the "looping" part as at the conclusion of the maneuver i.e. at the top of the 45 degree upline? In other words, is it flown as drawn? I have a heck of a time ensuring I am slow enough upon completion of Figure 6 to safely enter a Split S. I wouldn't mind climbing higher in order to bleed off more speed/energy. 2. Figure 8: Is it simply a reverse cuban eight, or is there some significance to the exaggerated manner in which the second half is drawn? Any comments/suggestions greatly appreciated.
