<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Snaps are easy. I have developed a step
by step method on how to score 10s on all snaps.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. Buy a fancy radio that has many stick
position operated functions. Futaba works best, as we all know all the
"good" flyers use Futaba. Plus you get to wear those cool orange
shirts-you know those ones that do not seem to macth any color combo, but
hey wtf, we are just uncoordinated airplane geeks (Futaba needs Queer Eye
for the Straight Guy help here...but thats another subject).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2. Get a plane that squeaks when snapping.
This ensures to the judge that you did indeed snap or there would not be
a squeak. Even squeaks made in China are acceptable.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3. Get an electric power source (for
the prop). Only really good flyers that are serious have the money, time,
and insurance to use this technology, therfore the judge sees this as "good".</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">4. Canvass this "list" and
create propoganda to increase the weight limit so you can actually get
a chance to do your snaps at the NATS-legally.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">5. Most Important- Develop a "Halo"
effect so you can do cheatin' on the line snap with out getting zeroed.</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Personally....I am working on step #1</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Arial">OK Larry, I'm starting to think you're a
"mole" just posing as a newbie to try and stir up trouble! VBG.</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">You've just touched on another highly charged
topic. (DON'T PEE ON THAT THIRD.... ZZZAP!)</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">That's pretty good for a "newbie"
(I'm starting to wonder ;-) ), two fire storms in just two questions.</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">LOL.</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">The short answer, make two 180 degree turns
and land on the runway without rolling off the side or pieces flying off
your airplane and you'll get a ten. Notice, that I didn't say you
couldn't crash on the runway, to do so is entirely legal and you'll still
get a ten as long as all parts stay in tack.</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">This is up for a vote by the Contest Board
this summer and "should" be changed back to scoring from 1 to
10, but you never know. </font>

<br><font size=3><b>Subject:</b> [NSRCA-discussion] Newbie question - landing
and approach</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">I have another few newbie Sportsman questions
if I may - hopefully not as controversial as the "electric weight"
issue :)</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">After the Double Immelman without rolls (U)
I will be flying upwind and then exit the box if I am understanding this
correctly.</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">How should I get from there to landing? </font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">I am assuming a simple flat 180 deg turn
(away from the flight line) from the upwind leg to down wind followed by
a normal landing approach?</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">What parts of that entire procedure are judged?</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">On the actual landing - the rules talk about
two lines 100 meters apart. Do I need to touch the ground inside those
two lines and/or roll to a stop within those two lines?</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Thanks!</font>
