Half Cuban-8 with a Half Roll

摘要

Invented in the 1930s, the half Cuban-8 was first flown by American barnstormer Len Povey, While attempting a triple avalanche, his entry speed was too high, so he decided to abort the attempt with a simple half roll on the backside of the figure, Thus, the now-common maneuver was born! Today, the half Cuban-8 is popular with the full-scale Red Bull Air Races and is used as a turnaround maneuver.
