[NSRCA-discussion] 2007 Masters... clarify on Item20

Mon Aug 14 22:04:20 AKDT 2006

Straight from the rule book on all counts.  The 15 meter rule for straight
line applies to entering and leaving the box as well.  Refer to page 72. 

http://www.modelaircraft.org/compreg.asp

Calling of box entry must be done so there is a minimum of a 15 meter
straight line before the first maneuver. Judging of the maneuver will begin
then. (As the lines into and out of maneuvers are part of the maneuver and
are always judged).  Calling of exiting the box must be done after a minimum
of a 15 meter straight line after the maneuver. Judging will cease at that
point.

If there isn't a defined straight line between maneuvers then the upcoming
maneuver is downgraded 2 points (see my comment below).  The length of that
line should be 30+ meters in order to receive no downgrade.

you didn't read the whole thing I posted.... Looks like you responded to the
part before "sorry"

You have a 15 meter straight line definition... I'm not sure if thats from
the rulebook or not...  That would be appx 7 fuselage lengths.

But.... does that just apply to the enter and leave box?  or does there have
to be a 30 meter (or 2 X 15 meter segments with the un-judged corrections
between them...  there's not much room for track corrections this way) 
straight line between consecutive maneuvers?   Or is the way I have thought 
it was correct... no defined straight line lenght between maneuvers, just a
definite straight line established?
