[NSRCA-discussion] Masters - Humpy Bump w/ Pilot Option

[Eddie Batchelor]

Last year at Nederland while flying Intermediate I entered the HB thinking
of the stall turn /full roll up soooooo needless to say I pulled to vertical
and promptly did a full roll. My caller (Richard Lewis) asked me “now what
are you gonna do”. My answer was there ain’t nothing I CAN do from here so I
guess I’ll set up for the cobra. Later I wondered if there was an option
that would’ve allowed me to legally finish the HB. This thread proves I was
screwed from the moment I executed the full roll up <VBG>

Larry, the Options HB has many options as the name states, but a 3/4 roll in
one of the verticals IS NOT one of them. A 3/4 roll in one of the verticals
makes this maneuver something other than the Options Humpty and the maneuver
should have been zeroed. 

 

The Options humpty requires the model to enter and exit upright with 180
degree directional reversal. The rest of the maneuver may be done as
follows: The model may be 1/2 rolled up OR down and may be pulled OR pushed
over the top. It may also be 1/4 rolled up AND down and may be pushed or
pulled over the top.

 

As with all end of the box reversals, entry and exit altitudes do not have
to match. The pilot has the option to correct altitude in the reversal, BUT
if rolls or other elements are flown in the verticals, each element must be
centered in its own vertical line.

 

Make sense??

Judging the Masters at a contest last weekend the pilot reversed the HB
maneuvers (7 and 13). I scored the 1st HB as a zero because the pilot did
not perform the ¾ down, only a ¼ if I recall correctly. But on the HB w/
Pilot Options I did not down grade for the ¾ roll down.

 

Should this have been a down-grade?
