XFC 2013 Airplane Known Maneuvers

Humpty Bump
From left to right or right to left, aircraft performs 1 half roll on the entry radius to a vertical up-line. The aircraft then performs 4x8 point roll in the opposite direction (centered). At the top, the aircraft rudders over 1/2 of a loop to a vertical down-line.   The aircraft then performs 4x8 point roll on the down-line (centered) followed by 1 half roll (opposite direction) on the exiting radius. Aircraft exits upright

Torque-roll sequence:
From upright level flight, the pilot will slow the airplane down and slowly transition into a stationary hover while maintaining the initial altitude.  Once in a hover, the pilot will perform 1 ½ torque rolls.  The exit will be a gradual transition to forward (inverted) flight, maintaining the same heading and altitude as the entry.
