Title: Trying to find a fairly recent topic on flying the clover showing traced video
Post by: JHildreth on May 29, 2024, 09:49:54 PM
Help!  I read a recent topic concerning how world competitors are flying the clover.  The topic included pictures of traced video.  Specific attention was made to the great circle path of the horizontal passes.  I have tried to search for the topic, but have been unsuccessful.

Thanks.

Joe:  Caution on this thread.  AMV was trying to demonstrate that most of the top fliers were not flying it correctly but here is the thread in the "At the Handle" forum: Flying the Four Leaf Clover.  I think there were four threads going on this and related subjects at the time.  I will also caution you to make sure you have plenty of time to adapt if you are going to use the great circle path for the connecting path.  At first it is like trying to play hockey with figure skates.  Those that think the transition was simple are probably still flying the center at a flat 42.
after nearly two years I still can't get the second loop placed properly half of the time.
