FURU'R'F' [6] OC2S Initial F with right index finger. I do U with the right pinky and F' with the right thumb.
Standard EO algorithm.

yR'F2RU2'R'FRU2'R'F2R [11] OC2S Grab the lower R face firmly. F and U' triggered by index fingers.
I came up with this by hand after noting a neat opportunity to do Petrus-like orientation.

Very intuitive.

l'URU2'r'U'LF [8] OC2S I use my right index finger for the final F...
Note that this alg takes the corner from UBR - a corner on U facing up, not next to the oriented edge.
(U)R'FRF'U'R'FRF' [9] OC2S I use my right index finger for the final F...
Note that this alg takes the corner from ULB - a corner on U facing up, next to the oriented edge.
