understanding of the reason why we now score T.O. and landing as "0" OR "10" was
to save time (?) and make the judges job easier (???). Well, last season we
spent a lot of time at pilot's meetings talking about how to "0"
something that didn't fit the rulebook description. Or when exactly do we call
"Takeoff complete"? It was silly. The judges still need to watch the Entire
takeoff and landing sequence so again, what's the point. If you wanted to save
time on T.O. - don't do the freaking procedure turn. Takeoff, turn 180 downwind,
check trim, turn around and get in the box. If you're a judge, assume that if it
got into the box it did so while conforming to the "rules". "10" - Done. The
procedure turn is cool and it looks great, but it takes more time to do, AND you
spend more time in the overlapping region of the other flight line (depending on
the wind direction and which line you're on of course). If you're going to go
through all of that, then you should at least get a good score for doing it
well. Just my opinion.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=260014800-26032006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Also
funny how now that electric is becoming more popular, we're relaxing the rules
about the airplane standing still before the takeoff roll. Pretty soon it won't
even matter - well, it will for some of us...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

took some skill to get the plane to rotate and stay on the ground with the
