Hi Chris,

BBCode tags (and HTML tags) almost always come in pairs. So if you want this:

Hello all:
I hope that when I return to Flying My Predator
Because now that I am an old Pilot I will Be a bold Pilot.

You have to type this:

[b]Hello all:[/b]
I hope that when I return to Flying My [u]Predator[/u]
Because now that I am an old Pilot I will Be a [b]bold Pilot[/b].


Notice that every [b] tag has a matching [/b] tag. Every [u] tag has a matching [/u] tag. They are like "book ends" around whatever you want to be bold or underlined.

Practice. Practice. Practice.   ;)

I have to agree.   :thumbup:

They say that you can't teach an OLD dog new tricks.

But you seem to be learning new tricks here on the forum ... all the time.

Good Job!!    :salute:

Going over the Top at 180 degrees is a straight over the Top loop. I have never gone over the Top at 180 degrees. But I am pretty sure that I have done a Wing-Over that was say 160 degrees. I just always wanted a back Door if My Glider was too slow at the Top of the maneuver. Granted it would not be a comfortable thing to do. But at least You could recover from a Bad case of poor energy Management. But if after I am flying once again. I will hook up with John, so that I will be able to do a successful loop. Yes that way I could do a loop with-out too much Trauma and Drama.
