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)

[edit] Additions and To-Do list

• Alphabetacise the list of figures, or at least put them in some order. -- DONE 9-28-05
• Give each figure a brief description, but have a link to a page with further details.
  • Further details can be the how and why: Explanation of flight dynamics, gyroscopic moments, etc.
• Possibly add either the Aresti symbols or some sort of diagram
• Links to the Aresti Catalogue

Made changes to the "Hammerhead" paragraph - Previous text was technically incorrect and misleading in description. Wrote article about Lomcevaks.

This article may be too technical for a general audience. Please help improve this article by providing more context and better explanations of technical details to make it more accessible, without removing technical details.

Even though it tries to explain the terms, it uses terms that are not accessible enough. I was totally lost by the explanation of a cuban eight, and even the first term uses "maximum climb" as though it was perfectly obvious what that was. Keep it accessible, use words like "up" and "down" and "really fast" if you have to :) Stevage 09:50, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Major change

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)

[edit] Request from Ramstein airshow disaster

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)
