How do you do a ???????

I have read in Stunt News about the double wingover that Bob Hunt did at a contest. What is it and how is it performed?

You skip the half lap in between. Just do a regular wingover with a 180 degree turnaround at the far end and retrace your steps.

Not a good idea in heavy winds.

You want to be sure you are seriously powered. Combat planes, almost any of them, including competition Half-A's, will handle it easily. Instead of pulling out into inverted level flight, do a half-loop, in either an outside turn, or an inside, & head back the other way across the top.

It may work best to start on the upwind side of the circle, where at least the model would be at full speed on the upwind side of the circle when starting and diving when finishing, and only have to do 90 degree turns upwind. The 180 degree turn upwind would be nasty in much wind. I used to do this with a Circle Tow A-2 Nordic glider, by the way. It was actually a useful tactic to either change direction of tow or confuse the competition as to what the heck you were going to do next! Steve
