[NSRCA-discussion] 2007 Pattern Rules posted by AMA

[JonLowe at aol.com]

Hey, we ain't IMAC, re: snaps!  And certainly not the Tucson Shootout.  I've 
never seen such exaggerated pitch breaks in my life!  20 degree pitch breaks 
before any rotation.  I think 5 points for AMA is severe, but doesn't kill you 
if you don't have a break.

As I read the landing rule, landing outside the zone is a proportionate 
downgrade.  If you land less than 1.5 meters outside the zone (5% of the 30 meter 
zone), that is a 1/2 point downgrade, 3 meters or less is 1 point, etc.  You'd 
have to land 30 meters from the line to get a zero just from this flaw.  Do 
the rubber o-ring tires on MK tailwheels count as a part?  ;)

I'm also reading that the 2 of 4 going into the split s  (intermediate 
sequence) requires you to pull immediately after reaching the 2nd point.  This was 
the way I thought it should be, but some were arguing that you had to hesitate 
after the 2nd point the same amount as you did between the points, then pull.

I guess we can't zero snaps for not having a pitch break...lol. RCA-20, right 
side.

And the landing zone is essentially a 30m box. But it is not a 0 if you don't 
land in it, just a downgrade. But don't go knocking parts off of it, or it'll 
become a 0. RCA-26
