[NSRCA-discussion] Masters Square 8

Ed,
That's the way I judged the pyramid. Started at center. Judged straight line before center and the straight line after center for the exit. Otherwise did it start somewhere well before center or at the first radius? On the horizontal eight, I think the first square is a complete square not just 3 sides with the last leg being done after the other square.

Interesting thoughts. I'm confused by some though.
Don't we fly past center to perform one outside square, with the downline directly on the center pole, pulling to complete a symetrical inside square on the other side of the center pole, and again pulling down vertical on the center pole, to push to inverted straight and level. Of course all radii should be the same, heading and track the same, lines straight. Both squares symetrical.
Where to start. If we consider the Pyramid of this year, are yousaying the maneuver started 15M before center even though we flew another 30-50 M or did the Pyramid start 15M before the first vertical elevent (the 135degree pull) It seems to me the same criteria would apply. The same goes for any square element that flies past center.

Wouldn't starting at the center will make this maneuver a reverse horizontal square 8, and George regardless of which one you do the up wind square should be done first. This way you will not change flight direction.

Vicente is right on the mark guys.
The first up-line is on the center line so the radius has to start before center and it should follow that the first loop should be the inside, otherwise the maneuver will cause a reverse in the sequence direction and that shouldn't take place 'til after the 1/2 square with 2 of 2 up. To me, seems pretty straight forward.

I agree with Don. The square 8 is a center maneuver, therefore the center, entry and exit of the maneuver, must be in front of the judges so the maneuver is balanced around the center. This means that the entry point of the straight line is 15 m before the center. Likewise the exit point is 15 meters in the other side of the entry point after the center in order to keep the figure balanced around the center.
I am sure that we are going to have concern in other manuevers. However, center manuevers are balanced around the center of the box so it is easy applying this rule to come to the right conclusion in regard the entry and exit points.
