[NSRCA-discussion] Judging question for the experts

[Patrick Harris]

Here's the info from the AMA manual:

"The first radius of a maneuver does not define the radii for the remaining
radii of a maneuver but it is a starting point. As the maneuver progresses,
the judge will compare each radius that was just flown to the last radius
flown and if there is a difference, then a downgrade will be given based on
the severity of the difference."

FAI is "first, AMA is "next"

So , yes, it would not matter in a half reverse as it only has two radii,
but a full Cuban it would..
