Now for the tricky bit!
If you've made a good job of the preceding half loop, you should have little difficulty in carrying out the inverted pass. Use your rudder to correct any deviation or wind drift.
Once the model has passed you, half roll to upright and immediately start a descending procedure turn to align yourself for the Overshoot.
The Overshoot is not an engine screaming low pass up the runway. It should be considered as a landing which is aborted. Consequently, go into 'landing mode', slow down and high angle of attack flight. If the model has retractable undercarriage or landing flaps, lower them. This is the only manouevre (with the obvious exceptions of take off and landing!) which should be executed over the runway. (If others are flying, let them know that you'll be coming down the runway low down and check that nobody is trying to land or is recovering a model from the runway - an extra circuit or two while waiting for the runway to clear won't go against you but flying inconsiderately, or worse dangerously, will.)
Call for a landing on the way in and when over the runway, call "Overshoot", open the throttle, decrease elevator and climb out as if you'd just taken off.
