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

Tue Oct 17 11:55:56 AKDT 2006

Hey Glen,

On this maneuver, I have a hard time believing that anyone would
downgrade a good M based on which side of the canopy they see.  Of
course...I've never really understood the "show the canopy first" idea
to begin with, but especially here, there are SOOOOOO many things to go
wrong, that a good M is a good M...period.  Draw the lines, wind
correct, hit the radius...and BHAM!!  Good maneuver.  There's so much to
screw up that showing the wrong side is irrelevant.

Now...like I said...stalling the opposite way...short of a dead
calm...is more likely to get you a downgrade.  Be it right or wrong...

Understood subjectivity will always be part pattern...

Let's see a show of hands of those who would apply a downgrade to an M
flown
technically correct according to the AMA judging criteria although the
belly
was seen during 1 or both of the stall turns.

I would disagree...it IS defined.  Figure M with 3/4 rolls.  Roll
direction
is optional, stall direction is optional.  That's always been the case
unless it's specified otherwise.  There's no "implied" roll direction,
just
one that some think looks better.  That will always be the case.

Some people do their four points in different directions so as to show
the
canopy first, or last, which ever they feel presents better...Not sure I
personally care, but for those that do...go for it.   I know I'll catch
flack for say this, but this IS a subjective sport.  Presentation DOES
matter... Always will.  It's shouldn't outweigh the objective criteria,
but
it's not worthless either.
