size=2>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 face=sans-serif size=2>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 face=sans-serif size=2>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 face=sans-serif size=2>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
face=sans-serif size=2>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>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 face=Arial size=2>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
