Back circle
The back circle is a rather unspectacular, but very demanding aerobatic maneuver. It is a competitive character that is part of the Aresti catalog . The figure itself is a 360 ° circle flown on its back with a constant radius. The figure is so demanding because an inverted aircraft is always more unstable than in a normal flight position. With the back circle it is much more difficult to maintain speed and radius because you have to constantly "counteract".
To initiate the figure, the aircraft must be inverted. Then the back circle is initiated with an incline of approx. 60 °. The direction in which the rudder is stepped determines the direction of rotation. The ailerons are deflected reciprocally in inverted flight (this is perhaps best imagined if you imagine the control stick as an extension "towards the sky" out of the aircraft: there the stick is then moved back in the direction in which it is Plane should turn.)
When the figure is removed, the aircraft is brought back to straight flight by deflecting against the rudder and ailerons.
