Please be warned Fellow Fournier Folks, that most European RF4Ds have a prohibition on flick (snap) rolls, but René generously removed this prohibition for me flying my Fourniers under very specific conditions.
So I now incorporate half-, three-quarter, full and one-and-a-half flicks in my sequence.
For the past couple of months I’ve been practising a new (to me) figure with which to end my 2023 display. It’s a half-loop topped off with one-and-a-half flick-rolls to reverse direction and lose height. I call it my ‘Topple-off’.
This clip incorporates external footage shot by Rayna Paech into which my mate Bob Hart has edited simultaneous in-cockpit and fin-cam footage.
It starts with a few practice topple-offs and finishes with the second part of my sequence.

I can’t wait for the northern hemisphere display season to begin!
