[NSRCA-discussion] radii

[Ed Alt]

The "first radius used" criteria may be sometimes confused because of the 
way Scale Aerobatics rules are written an inadvertently applied when judging 
Pattern.  Unless that's recently changed, the first radius in the figure 
does define what the rest should be.  Any time a judge has to cross back & 
forth between the two events, this is yet another detail that has to be 
remembered.
