Wrong Maneuver issues

[Bill Glaze]

Yes, when I started (~1955) there was one list of maneuvers used by all;
Rudder Only, Intermediate, (referred to as Mickey Mouse) and
Multi-channel.  Classes were formally Class I, Class II, Class III.
You did your stuff, called the maneuver name, then "beginning now" and
"complete" after each maneuver.  When you thought you were finished, you
could ask the judges "anything left?"
They'd tell you: "Yeah, you haven't done the 3 turn spin, and you
haven't done the 3 outside loops."  You'd then either do the stuff, skip
it, or, if you were out of time, (10 minutes) you were finished anyhow.
Obviously, for the Rudder-Only Class, there were some things they
couldn't even attempt.  Surprisingly, there also was a lot of stuff they
*could* do too, that you wouldn't think.
Lots of informality, lots of fun.
