Talk:Aerobatic maneuver

message: I thought I would put down some of my ideas for this page. If you disagree then lets chat about it and hopefully we can improve this section of the Wiki. Daleh 12:03, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I have begun tabulating the figures from the bulleted lists. The list was looking untidy, and the only neat way to add images was to use a table. The main headings are alphabetacised, while the sub figures (eg the Cubans) are in a mostly logical order. I am using cropped Olan gifs. See the actual Images page to look at the credits and also the naming scheme. The figures should be vectorised but I do not have the correct software. It would be nice to add a "ribbon" style diagram that would be truer to the shape of the figures as well as the Aresti symbols. (i.e. a fourth column.) Anyone good at that kind of art? If anyone has any objections to these changes please let me know. Daleh 21:39, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major change 

message: Could someone that is skilled in the Aresti notation please help to produce an illustration of the maneuver that lead to the Ramstein airshow disaster.  We currently have one fair use image of the maneuver: :Image:Cardioid.jpg, but it will have to be replaced as it does not fulfill WP:FUC. --rxnd ( t | € | c ) 21:50, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Some sort of graphic illustrating the wing-over maneuver would greatly contribute to the meaning of that term.  Even a link to a reliable video would be helpful.  The description really doesn't fully explain it to a reader.  --Khatores (talk) 21:34, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wing-over/Chandelle needs a graphic 

message: I have added a section that actually (attempts to) explain what the terms "loop", "roll", "spin", and "hammerhead" mean, as it doesn't say anywhere on the page what those actually are, only that maneuvers are made out of these component parts. It just so happens that I got to this page because I was trying to find out what a Hammerhead turn was. It didn't help at all. (Incidentally, there is a page on the Stall turn, but it is so technical it was not entirely clear even to me who knows a little about aviation. There is also a page explaining what a Spin (flight) is, but no link to that page here. "Loop" and "Roll" just bring you back to the page on Aerobatic maneuver. Big help. I remember a time when I wasn't clear on what a spin was, or which one was a loop and which was a roll. I recall coming here to this page and not learning much. A lot of people coming to this page are likely in the same position. It is annoying.
Thus, I have taken it upon myself to add a section attempting to explain in simple terms what these elementary maneuvers are, and supplying links to the few pages out there that pertain to the subject, if anyone wished to read further on the matter. There is no page for "roll" and "loop", so what people read here is all they are going to get. 
It's not great, but it's the best I could manage, and it was hard to keep it as short as I did. If anyone wishes to improve it or correct any of the details I added, feel free, but please don't just delete it, because there ARE people out there who don't know this stuff and would like to learn. If there isn't any other page explaining what a "loop" is, it ought to be said here, or at least there ought to be a link to a place that does say what it is. I bet the Simple English wiki has a good basic explanation....45Colt 18:20, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
