Yeah, its pretty good for a first or second time, but after that (like with everything), they should be able to go custom on height, shape, etc.

Just a tip, I would add flexis where you could on this.

Very nice immlemann you have. That is pretty much the correct way to build a perfect immlemann. Im sure we will see this version a lot more soon.

Since I did my research, I will just throw in a couple of tidbits:

1. Immlemann has two n's at the end.

2. Don't get an immlemann confused with a sidewinder. They are both different.

3. An immlemann is 135* to 180* of a turnaround, where a sidewinder only turns you closer to 90.

4. You can read more about the differences here: www.rcdb.com/g33.htm. Thats a great page to learn your inversions. You will be surprised how many there are.

Hmmm... one thing about getting confused about the difference between an immelman and a sidewinder... shouldn't it be like confused about an immelman and a dive loop?

Not really, because an Immelmann and a dive loop are the same thing, it just depends which way you enter it. Bottom up=immelmann, top down=dive loop.:king
