[NSRCA-discussion] Masters 2007 Figure "M" question

[Bob Richards]

Not to start anything here, but why is it better to present the canopy to the judges? How many points should that count for? If the rules say "pilot's option" then there can be no downgrade if presenting the bottom to the judges. Or maybe this falls under the S&G discussion.
   
  IMHO, the M w/ 3/4 is a beautiful manuever when done right, and I think it shows more skill to present the bottom on one of the stall turns. That is how I did it 13 years ago.

Jim,
It certainly will work this way, but your original method will present 
better. With the roll direction being pilots option your original 
ll/rr-rr/ll is a much prettier maneuver. There's something to be said for 
presenting the canopy to the judges on rolling maneuvers. I apply this 
technique on all maneuvers with rolling elements unless the specified 
requirement forces otherwise, like reverse K.E.'s. IMHO, you had it right 
the first time!
