falls through the horizon. From this point on, it is essentially the same as the last half of a loop. Concentrate on visually staying in a vertical plane.

Sideview: [[hand-drawn diagram of the Split S maneuver]]

Pitfalls:
1) Heading purturbations [[perturbations]] during roll
2) Bad visual references at start of pullthrough - you'll "dish-out" to side and come through with ~30° of heading error.
3) Not pulling hard enough from inverted - you'll loose [[lose]] more altitude than intended and be much faster than intended with more g's required to complete pullthrough.

Lazy 8

Entry Conditions: 350 KIAS / 95% RPM

Maneuver: Start with a good visual, linear reference and maneuver to approach it from the side (90° from velocity to reference). Just prior to crossing the reference line start a smooth climb followed immediately by transitioning to a smooth climbing turn (say to the right, if you start to the left reverse all following lefts & rights). Don't hurry, this is a lazy maneuver. The nose should reach the maximum pitch attitude (30-45°, I think) with a bank of about 60° and 45° of turn completed. Smoothly relax back pressure throughout last part of pitch up and let the nose fall through the horizon while continuing the turn. At 90° of turn, the bank should be about 90° (the maximum bank angle used in the maneuvers nominally)and the pitch should be 0°. (If you are going to pass through this point with the nose still well above 0°, roll to about 120° and add back pressure to help "pull" the nose down. If your
