I MUST BE THICK 
I really can't seem to tell the difference here, I am obviously not looking at something. Both the maneuvers appear to me as the same thing. Go up, slow down, apply full rudder and opposite aileron when slow enough to bring the nose down. I can see that Widewing didn't start until he was almost standing still and so had a dramatically smaller radius..............
So again I ask, what is the difference?
BTW widewing, a few questions arise in my head:
1. Did you cut throttle?(doesn't show in film)
2. Did you extend flaps?(doesn't show in film)
3. I know you must have applied full rudder and some opposite aileron roll, but did you also apply some differential throttle?(whenever I try that I go around so fast instead of doing a 180, I end up doing a 270 with 90 roll)
I think that move is a deciding move that will make or break ya.....If you execute it and then miss ( or find a new con close:O ), you're in hot soup!:eek:
Thanks again!:aok 
The difference is in the radius of the reversal. A wingover has a larger radius, several times the wingspan of the aircraft. A hammerhead has the entire reversal within the radius of the wingspan. A hammerhead is done at a lower speed than a wingover.
Now, as to your questions,
1. I gradually eased off power as I approached the the top of the climb.
2. I did not use flaps.
3. I used full left rudder with minimal aileron input.
My regards,
Widewing
