Your least favorite maneuver

[Matt Colan]

Well, we heard what your favorite maneuver is, and what maneuver that could be added to the pattern, how about your least favorite maneuver or your worst maneuver?  Me, I never fancied the square 8s or the 4-leaf.

[Larrys4227]

Anything that is directly overhead.  I've got a bad neck/shoulder and its hard to look straight up.  I attempted an overhead-8 once... lost the plane from sight but luckily came back into view on the side I was facing. :-)

The take off.   Always get up tight on landings.  DOC Holliday

Panic Pull Out from inverted flight using up  - into the ground,  I practiced it again today-sheesh I hate that!

[Mark Scarborough]

The last manuever of a flight,, unless its the landing, that one is ok,, but when its the outside squares,, or the square 8,, it really bites when thats the last manuever,, 

[Richard Grogan]

The exit of a figure 9. Its a killer 

[Clayton Berry]

Perhaps outside squares.

The plane is flying at full speed, and you head it directly to the ground.  And pull out with lots of down elevator.  I know everything is going to work, but it still gives me the heebeegeebees.  The second one is perhaps eaiser because the plane has slowed down a bit - but, do you try to keep it in the same path to be consistent?  Or do you do one like it should have been done a few seconds earlier?

Judges:  Hey, he was a bit low, but he did it twice!

Judges:  What a lousy couple of loops.

Judges:  Wow.  Hard four corners, and just the right size.  Did you notice how his watch quivers at exactly 89.7 cycles per second?

Hey, judges don't talk to each other. 

[Jim Pollock]

Ummmmm,

Lets see now......I think the maneuver I hate most is overhead eights  - when your looking up just where exactly is that blessed vertical 90 degree line you so desperately need to fly that silly maneuver anyway!!!!  Answer: NOWHERE!
