<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Along comes a competition flyer practicing
rollers and he becomes the example that the distance is OK, and enforcement

that rollers are neat maneuvers and that they simply don't fit within the
"smaller footprint" concept. Dean, I like your proposal that they be replaced
with rolling loops - keeps the complexity and solves the distance problem.
Have you suggested this to Bob Skinner (F3A Subcommittee Chair)? We're
our own worst enemy - rollers can be flown much tighter, but no one does
that - no wow factor! My alerts that the pattern rules don't provide a
distance exception for rollers only resulted in a quasi exception.
