2005 MASTERS - Update plain text version

[Eric Henderson]

Gene,
            There has been a debate over this for a very long time. I was informed that the FAI and the AMA did not agree on how to K-factor the Immelmann.

In the days when the schedules were all being redone it was common to see a K-1 attached to this. An outside Immelmann being a K-2. In some previous Master's schedules that were being proposed shows it as a K-1.

The 2005 Schedule has it shown as a K-1. I am not married to this K number, It seems logical to have it as a K-1. I'll bow to those who know more about how to estimate or calculate a K-factor.

Thanks for the math on the K-factor total. It changed a few times during development. (This all took place over two years ago BTW)

I'll let John Fuqua know and he can decide whether it is 67 or 68.

Regards,

Eric.

  Eric, 

  I come up with 67K. Another question, was there any specific reason that the Immelmann Turn is a K1 when it's a K2 in every other sequence including the previous Masters sequence?
