Spoilers for Pattern Planes?????

[mike mueller]

 Exactly when are you supposed to start judging the landing? If you stop the slip before 6 feet off the ground then it shouldn't effect the judge. I guess after so many years of flying I can tell you that I'm a little tired of the judges and there petty preferences that shouldn't come into play. But hey that won't change things so I guess I'll learn to deal with it. Mike
