[NSRCA-discussion] Newbie question - landing and approach

[Wayne Galligan]

He is just waiting for someone to throw in a little catalyst to get things real sticky.

  I believe Gray is stirring the pot here....   Of course, he's using a "composite" stick!!!

    Snaps are easy. I have developed a step by step method on how to score 10s on all snaps. 

    1. Buy a fancy radio that has many stick position operated functions. Futaba works best, as we all know all the "good" flyers use Futaba. Plus you get to wear those cool orange shirts-you know those ones that do not seem to macth any color combo, but hey wtf, we are just uncoordinated airplane geeks (Futaba needs Queer Eye for the Straight Guy help here...but thats another subject). 

    2. Get a plane that squeaks when snapping. This ensures to the judge that you did indeed snap or there would not be a squeak. Even squeaks made in China are acceptable. 

    3. Get an electric power source (for the prop). Only really good flyers that are serious have the money, time, and insurance to use this technology, therfore the judge sees this as "good". 

    4. Canvass this "list" and create propoganda to increase the weight limit so you can actually get a chance to do your snaps at the NATS-legally. 

    5. Most Important- Develop a "Halo" effect so you can do cheatin' on the line snap with out getting zeroed. 


    Personally....I am working on step #1

    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
