Aerofly pro deluxe and IMAC Judging Class.

[Bill Glaze]

Mark:
FWIW, this past Saturday I attended an IMAC judging school, inasmuch as 
I wanted to see what they were up to! ;-) It was a very professional 
presentation, taking 2 days.  (I wasn't able to attend the Sunday 
practical at-the-field-flying session because of other commitments) but 
I did attend the full-day classroom session.  An absolute highlight of 
the class was a G2 simulator, paired up with PowerPoint.  They were able 
to project on a large movie screen, in-flight maneuvers, both with and 
without mistakes.  These were pre-stored, and they had a raft of them, 
illustrating just what common mistakes looked like, just what "cheating" 
with ailerons looked like, etc.etc.   It was truly fabulous.  If we had 
someone with the talent to make this up, and put it on a computer, 
(remember, this was G2, not the latest) such a presentation would 
quickly obsolete the tape that is in use today at the NSRCA judging 
schools.  They also issued a loose-leaf binder with all the Aresti 
figures used by FAI, told how to compose the complete figures from 
components in the book, how to calculate K-Factors--indeed everything 
needed.  Handouts were given out for different subjects, etc.  and I  
couldn't help but notice that, of the 35 people in attendance, some said 
they hadn't yet entered their first contest, (but intended to) and quite 
a few were entry-level pilots.
I realize that you asked for the  time, and I've just told you how to 
build a watch, but I'd like everyone to digest this and see if we can't 
come up with something parallel.
