rules proposals final result

[Thomas C. Weedon]

The surveys of the NSRCA members clearly proved that the overwhelming
majority of US pattern flyers (NSRCA members) want scored take offs and
landings. In my humble opinion, take offs and landings are just as aerobatic
as a loop of roll and should be judged as such. Perhaps AMA is pushing us
back to the NPAC idea where we can be in charge of our own destiny; ya
think???

  Not only that, but those poor guys in Intermediate still didn't get their
snap!  How inconsiderate!!!!!!!!!  HOW
UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  It seems to me that I remember a couple of contests last year in my
district where the C.D. notified the contestants on the sanction, in
advance, that the Intermediate flyers sequence would include the snap and
the Immelman and that this was perfectly legal. I can't see why we can't
implement the same procedure regarding scored T.O.s and Ls.and the snaps and
anything else we want to incorporate(within reason) and phooey with the
contest board. What can they do ? Refuse to issue a sanction? It would
appear to me that none of the contest board members even glanced at the
survey results let alone exercised any reflection regarding same( Am I
getting too pushy?).

    I need to vent: I don't understand why there isn't more outrage on
RCA05-05 (0 or 10 on takeoff and landing).  This proposal was written and
submitted after the NSRCA survey results asked the question about judged
takeoff/landings every which way possible and every time got the same
answer: continue to judge these manuvers on a 0-10 scale.   Pattern is all
about presentation and sloppy TO/Landings detract from this.  When you are
on the "stage" you are making your presentation.  This is why actors take a
bow at the end of thier performance maintaining grace and style; or why TV
newscasters hold their face until the commercial cutaway.  It's about
completing the presentation. I did my part, by reminding D6'ers in my March
KFactor column to call their contest board member (phone #s provided).  But
with the KFactor running a consistent month late, most people probably
didn't get their March issue (written in February) until well into
April. --Lance ----- Original Message -----

       I find it interesting that they decided to do away with judging take
off and landing, yet do not think intermediate pilots can handle a positive
snap. Oh well, it works for me. -Mike
