Some Diagrams & Judging video

[Bob Pastorello]

Andre - agreed - *if* judges are making the appropriate "correction" as they watch.  Of course, since the amount of correction is different depending on depth of manuever in the box, or height, seems that it takes a "known" angle (most everyone can ascertain a very accurate 45 degree line), and turns it into a "I think .... it's a .... corrected ....  --  degree line."
    Which then means we have an additional, and unnecessary subjective decision burden on BOTH pilot and judge (who's a pilot, anyway).
    I think if truth be told - - and NO offense meant to anyone - - most folks are lookin' for the correct angle, and NOT "correcting" for depth/height/distance/perspective.
    But I sure could be wrong about this, too.

  Emphasizing what Steve Maxwell has said, true geometry must be flown at all times because....the rules do not say: pull to what will appear to the judge to be a 45 degree line;" they say "pull to a 45 degree line," meaning a real 45 degree line, etc.
