[NSRCA-discussion] Newbie question - landing and approach

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Larry,

You will need to turn back after exiting the box, generally in a flat turn 
and usually away from the flight line, depending on how far away you ended the 
Double I. Other reversals are also allowed, particularly since you are outside 
the stage, but no hot-dogging. In the old schedule where Landings were scored 
in standard fashion, hot-dogging was definitely not allowed, and you got 
penalized. 

In the present schedule where Landings are either 0 or 10, the idea is to 
re-enter the box downwind, turn to final and land. The score is either of the 
numbers I mentioned. In general, as long as you land in the zone, you score a 10. 
The Zeros are defined well in the maneuver description; there are several. If 
you land inside but roll to stop outside, it isn't a penalty.

Hope that helps

Matt

I have another few newbie Sportsman questions if I may - hopefully not as 
controversial as the "electric weight" issue :)

After the Double Immelman without rolls (U) I will be flying upwind and then 
exit the box if I am understanding this correctly.

How should I get from there to landing? 

I am assuming a simple flat 180 deg turn (away from the flight line) from the 
upwind leg to down wind followed by a normal landing approach?

What parts of that entire procedure are judged?

On the actual landing - the rules talk about two lines 100 meters apart. Do I 
need to touch the ground inside those two lines and/or roll to a stop within 
those two lines?

Thanks!

Larry
