[NSRCA-discussion] Questions for the experts

[Stuart Chale]

Pilot 1:  Should be 8.5...  BUT everyone says the 45 on the turnarounds should look steeper due to parallax.  How much steeper?  Has anyone ever put their trig and geometry to the task to say  what angle it should look like at 150 or 175 meters?  So was that real world 68 degrees 8.5 or looked like 68 degrees from the judges position, my thoughts would be it is supposed to look steeper than 45 but probably not by that much.  9

Pilot 2:  Big difference in radius would look pretty sharp.  8 to 8.5

Pilot 3: 8.5   But figuring out 15% out of the box????  My real life thoughts is perfect maneuver but looked like the loop was a little out of the box, also another case for parallax as the further back you sit the more the maneuvers look out of the box, but real life probably a 9.

Pilot 4:  I would say a 9 if they came back towards center box parallel to the runway but if still pointed out then an 8 or 8.5 if really only 5 degrees.

Half Reverse Cuban 8, turnaround maneuver.

Pilot 1 does a 68 degree angle, no other defects, what is the score?
Pilot 2 does his first radius at about quarter that of the 5/8 loop.  No other defects- what is the score?
Pilot 3 does the maneuver with correct geometry and radius segments, but the maneuver is 15 percent out of the box- no other defects- what is the score?
Pilot 4 angles (cants) the  entire maneuver out about 5-10 degrees to keep it in the box, does correct geometry and radius segments and there are no other defects- what is the score?

Thanks much,
Don
