[NSRCA-discussion] Rules proposal 11-6 question

[Atwood, Mark]

You raise another interesting point regarding moving 4pts and slow rolls down a level and that's the demand on equipment.   Currently, knife edge trim, while nice, is not essential for the intermediate pattern.  Changing that also changes the level of equipment, radios especially, required for that sequence.  Currently my son competes with a Kaos 40 (single aileron servo so no differential) on a basic radio. He has no mixes on the plane, nor does he really need any.

The two-point in Sportsman was intimidating enough until I started following the trimming chart and moved my CG back so it doesn't drop nearly as much.  Now, if only I had adjustable wing incidence to fix the pull to belly in knife edge.  I'll try some 2/4 and see if I can work up to 4/4 without unduly risking my airplane.
