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

[DaveL322 at comcast.net]

The aresti is only an example of the maneuver.  The aresti is not the only representation/style which can earn a 10.

For example(s)
- the ratio of the lengths of the hesitations and the rolling portions of a 4 point roll drawn in aresti (we are really talking about the ribbon diagrams) could be measured and the arguement could be made that any 4 point roll which did not match the ratio of the aresti is downgradeable.
- the ratio of height of a corner portion of a square loop could be calculated vs the actual straight line length (again from the aresti/ribbon drawing) and the arguement could be made that any square loop without a matching ratio could be downgraded.

Both arguements would be wrong.  The aresti/ribbon is an example, an illustration, and it should be technically accurate - but it is not the the only way a maneuver can be completed without technical downgrades.

Bob
I'm with you,not trying to start something. This just needs to be hashed out before we stand in front of the judges. I have done the fig M all different ways also and they are good to watch when done right.The rules were just presented here and there is no mention of roll directions....so how much attention do we give the aresti figures.They defined that both verticals had the same roll directions..didn't say which way.

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!
