SPLIT "S"

A split "S" is a very useful positioning maneuver, since it turns you around and you drop abit of altitude. To do one, start high until you get use to the maneuver. Fly strait and level until the end of the field, now put the throttle to idle, and as you do this roll perfectly 180 degrees (to inverted) and as the plane rolls inverted apply up elevator to pull to level (basicly a half loop) and fly away! Try to get the half loop smooth and a constant radius. This maneuver is used throughout competition so practise and get it right!
