[NSRCA-discussion] Newbie question - Don't ask, don't tell.

[Del K. Rykert]

airplanes are ignorant of fact of which way wind is blowing.. is a pilots perception issue.. and the control inputs we chose to introduce to fight the perception.  major grin..

  Or better yet, Larry, the notorious down-wind turn which I have been wondering about for the last 8 years. With sombody like me on the list, noone has even dared to mention that debacle (and I don't blame them.....BG.).

      Thanks Keith and Matt. I think I have it now .

      I was going to ask how could "landing" possibly be a controversial issue, but I think it would be best if I just go to the contest, keep my eyes open and my mouth shut! LOL

      Thanks to all!

        OK Larry, I'm starting to think you're a "mole" just posing as a newbie to try and stir up trouble! VBG.

        You've just touched on another highly charged topic. (DON'T PEE ON THAT THIRD.... ZZZAP!)

        That's pretty good for a "newbie" (I'm starting to wonder ;-) ), two fire storms in just two questions.

        LOL.

        The short answer, make two 180 degree turns and land on the runway without rolling off the side or pieces flying off your airplane and you'll get a ten.  Notice, that I didn't say you couldn't crash on the runway, to do so is entirely legal and you'll still get a ten as long as all parts stay in tack.

        This is up for a vote by the Contest Board this summer and "should" be changed back to scoring from 1 to 10, but you never know.

          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
