Rolling Susan

Definition:

This is a LAZY SUSAN performed directly from within a horizontal flight. The lower wing is popped to knock the kite into a TURTLE (belly up, nose away), and the same line is again popped to perform the lazy susan rotation. The trick must be entered and exited horizontally in the same direction.

Key elements:

Horizontal entry. Flat rotation. Horizontal exit. No loss of height.

Judges view:

No pause between the Turtle and the rotation. Flat rotation. Same height all the time.

Most common errors:

A visible pause to get the kite deep in the Turtle. No flat rotation. Losing height. OUT not in a horizontal line.

It can help if you can see different kites and pilots working in the same circumstances:
