Spoilers for Pattern Planes?????

[Del Rykert]

Correct. As long as is stip slipping before the call for landing at 6 feet then you shouldn't be downgraded but I have on rare occasion seen models being slipped to a point 1 foot off the runway before stopping the slip and of course the wiggle/jump brings a downgrade. A well slipped model in my eyes does look good and shows an exceptional pilot.

   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
