[NSRCA-discussion] Judging question for the experts

[tocdon at netscape.net]

P.S. the Northern Virginia judging clinic date has been set at 30 March at LCAA.  Sorry, but we will start later- (9 a.m.) and try and be completed by 2:30 if weather is bad, 4 PM or later if you want to stay and do the flight portion.  NVRC will be providing lunch for all attendees. 

Regards,
Don

Subject: Judging question for the experts


A question on radius judging.  Tight radius (or loose radius) manevuer segments are subject to downgrade in FAI.  What constitutes a tight radius?  Physically tight (in feet, for example), or tight (fast speed through the radius giving the impression that the plane is pulling excessive g's, however that is interpreted).   A slow flying radius could be extremely tight, for example the last radius at the bottom of the triangle loop (135 degree pull) or figure Z.

Best regards,
Don
