Hi Joe,
Here is my guess. It is very good question:
The name of the maneuver takes precedence. We can adjust the altitude by increasing or decreasing the length of both sides of the 1/2 square. Therefore, both have to be equal. This is because we will need to preserve the square shape. This is not necessarily the case in other other turnaround maneuvers.
I found the description. Here is:
Square Loop on Corner with Two Half Rolls: Model pulls through one-eighth (1/8) loop to a 45- degree climb and completes a square loop. Model executes a half roll in the first and third legs. Downgrades: Model pulls through one-eighth (1/8) loop to a 45- degree climb and completes a square loop. Model executes a half roll in the first and third legs. Downgrades:
1. All sides not at 45 degrees to horizon. All sides not at 45 degrees to horizon.
2. Loop not square with sides of equal length. Loop not square with sides of equal length.
3. Loop segments not round and of equal radius. Loop segments not round and of equal radius.
4. Half rolls not 180 degrees. Half rolls not 180 degrees.
5. Wings not level during one-quarter loops. Wings not level during one-quarter loops.
6. Changes in heading during rolls and loops. Changes in heading during rolls and loops.
7. Rolls not centered in legs. Rolls not centered in legs.
8. Rolls not in first and third legs score zero (0). Rolls not in first and third legs score zero (0).
9. Roll rates not constant Roll rates not constant
OK. I hope that this is clear. Have a nice week.

Can the "Half Square on Corners /w half rolls" vary in length on the
legs as long as the rolls are centered in the lines? It is a turn
around maneuver and most turn around maneuvers can be used to adjust
height.
My view would be that both legs should be equal but I can see where it
could be argued that since you are adjusting your exit height, you
should be able to vary the length.
Jeff Buchner asked me this at the Ft. Scott contest and I'm not sure of
the answer.
Joe D.
