Worlds 2005 Day 2

[Grow Pattern]

I take a risk and give you my analysis of why he scores so 
well..................

Watching CPLR you soon see that he puts as much into his turnarounds as the 
center maneuvers. This adds up slowly but surely and creates a distance 
between himself and other pilots who fly equally as well doing the 
"hard"stuff in the middle.

I have listened to a bunch top pilots from many different countries espouse 
on why CPLR has won so many rounds in world championships. They fall into 
the elephant pit trap of only looking at the complex maneuvers and then 
struggle to figure out why he gets high scores. I hear the usual 
rationalizations of "bias, halo effect etc." and then gently insert how well 
he flew in the USA and how many rounds he won!

All yu have to do is watch a video of how he flies and you see, geometry, 
geometry, geometry. Rolls components in the physical  center of what they 
are flown in, as opposed to the timing, feeling, rhythm that is often used.

The more astute ones have figured it out and are working on the problem!

My pick  for the one to watch is, Onda!

Regards,

Eric.
