[NSRCA-discussion] Rules proposal 11-6 question

[J N Hiller]

Yah, record the whole flight and we can sit in the air conditioned bar
sipping a cool one and judge the flight instead of sitting in the hot sun.

Hmmm, maybe we should have "instant replay" for the judges. :->

Not to cloud the issue, but to (probably) confirm your suggestion, I well
remember attending and observing the 2003 Team Selection at Triple Tree.  I
saw some snaps that had me thinking, "boy, are these neat.  How do they ever
get them stopped in time, how do they apply their own timing to do it so
precisely, etc. etc."  So, I began taping them with ny video camera.
When I got home, the tape showed at 10x something I had not discerned with
my naked eye, (at 1x.)  It developed that these "snaps" in many cases,
showed no break at all.  Just simple, very, very swift aileron rolls about
the X axis.  But, with the naked eye, they sure looked like snaps.  Up until
that time, I felt that I could accurately judge a snap roll by the "break."
Now, I'm not so sure.  And, I never heard of one of these pilots being
zeroed for "No break."  If they were, nobody said so.
