Masters 2005 questions

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Ed, the radii in any maneuver including the end-stage Fig 9, shall be the  
same. Since the Fig 9 is an end-stage maneuver, it's a height adjusting  
maneuver. The roll should be performed on the center of the vertical line,  meaning 
right at, above or below where the 3/4 loop started, depending on the  size of 
both the loop and the vertical.
 
Any snap should show a "break". Since the snap is an inside snap in the Rev  
Ava, showing a very quick break shouldn't be a problem, if you use sticks for  
the snap. Also, you might want to hold elevator a bit longer than in last  
years's snaps, so that the nose will finish high. In essence, you are burrying  
the snap on purpose. This is easier to do right than some of the other stuff  
we've done.

Hey everyone.  Have a couple "picky" questions on the figure 9 and  avalanche.
 
1)  On the figure 9, is it an "altitude adjusting" manuver?  By  this I mean 
does the 1/2 roll have to be centered on the horizontal line the  manuver 
started on?  Another way of looking at it is does the size of the  3/4 loop 
dictate where the 1/2 roll should be or does the length of the  vertical line from 
the end of the 3/4 loop to the start of the 1/4 loop  pullout dictate the 
centering of the 1/2 roll?
 
A person start at a medium height, then do a huge 3/4 loop, not leaving  
enough room to center the 1/2 roll on the horizontal line with equal before  and 
after lengths, so do the roll early(above the horizontal starting point)  but 
keep the roll centered in the downline.
 
2)  Does the radius of the 3/4 loop have to be the same radius as  the 1/4 
loop pullout?
 
3)  On the reverse avalanche.  If we are to maintain the radius  of the loop, 
how do we keep a slight downward radius when having to pitch up  for a 
positive snap, then 1/2 way through the snap begin a very slight upward  radius 
while finishing the snap.  Just food for thought.  I think  the bigger the 
manuever the better to hide this little radii problem.   Any other thoughts.
 
Thanks in advance.
