[NSRCA-discussion] 2016 Advanced Figure M with 1/4 rolls

[John Gayer]

Yes the canopy looks better- up close.

Flying at 150 meters plus slant range to aircraft, it isn't highly 
noticeable which side is presented. Also where is the downgrade?
Typically, as a judge, I'm too busy to notice that there has been an 
effort to present the fuse top. I'm looking at radii, roll centering, 
straight lines, quality of stall turns, altitude of tops, altitude of 
bottoms, etc. I don't pay any attention to which side is presented and 
wouldn't know what to do with the information if I did notice. There is 
no downgrade available and I don't how you could add points for it.
However as a pilot, I would want to present the fuse top both times in 
this maneuver because it makes the stall turns more natural.
