Right forward outside rocker

RFO to RBO: half a turn into the circle, holding the edge and leaving on a new one.

Forwards on the outside edge, rotating into the circle exactly as a three turn does. Then the edge does not change, so the lobe has to. You leave the circle you were on and pick up a new one curving the other way.

That is the whole reason the turn exists as a separate thing. The rotation is a three turn’s rotation; the destination is somewhere else entirely.
