Title: New maneuver, Wedge.
Post by: Chris McMillin on January 08, 2007, 10:40:47 AM
The Wedge is a wingover with a 90 degree turn at the top, and then a inside, or outside pullout at the bottom. There can be an outside or inside Wedge. It can be performed by most anyone that can do a wingover.

 **) I got a kick out of the name of the maneuver "the Wedgie"  **) the pilot takes off and pulls his pants up very abruptly!

No, No, Bobby. The Wedge, like the cool surf site in Newport Beach that wipes everyone out!!!

Sounds like a really big triangle to me.

I think a square clover would be extremely difficult to fly right. We could call that a "WEDGIE" or the "PUCKER"

A triangle or round loops in dead calm air is what I call a pucker, or at least has rhymed with it!                                                    If this old pattern is so easy, Why arent cave men doing it?

I can't stop laughin long enough to answer this one.   LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~

OK, I've regained my composure. It seems to me that this "WEDGE" maneuver would be difficult to see once you got to the top of the circle, making it hard to complete. Just an assumption, could be easy to I'll have to give it a shot.

When I was in my 20's, I usta do square vertical 8's with a Warrior with Fox .201. Try two. It should be interesting.   VD~ Steve
