<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> The correct answer by my
definition is depends on the judge unfortunately.. If you are flying in
front of me I subtract from 10 depending on the severity of flaws I catch. Ugly
versus pretty are not primary judging factors on the judging priorities. So
when you choose to fly your maneuver pretty and your elbow competitor fly's it
by the book don't ask me why you received the lower score..

correction</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hey everyone. While the season is winding down, Don Ramsey and I
had an interesting discussion this past weekend. Am wondering what the
general consensus is.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>First, let me state, judges are human and I understand that. Also,
many judges don't know the exact wording of many rules, I understant that
also.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Soooo</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Will a pilot score higher if they follow the letter of the law and wind
correct perfectly, but fly an ugly manuever, or wind correct a little and let
the plane look "prettier" in a manuever?????</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lets use the first maneuver in the Master's sequence after entering the
box. Stall turn 1 1/4 rolls up, 3/4 rolls down exit inverted. On a
strong wind day, not pulling to vertical to maintain the line doesn't look to
bad (we expect that) the 1 1/4 rolls in centered, looking good, appropriate
rudder is given to maintain a straight vertical line (again expected and
usually doesn't require much as we are at full throttle), the stall goes off
without a hitch, but do to lack of airspeed we cant the fuse and hold rudder
into the wind letting the fuse lean at a 45degree angle to maintain a straight
line (this is the part I'm curious about) until the 3/4 roll and using a
little down elevator to hold the line after the roll (again expected but not
ugly)</DIV>
<DIV>Everything about this manuever is done and doesn't detract from the
overall appearance of the manuever except the down line after the stall, which
is simply "UGLY"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just curious what everyone says. Again, I know what the rules say,
and am not interested in a rule book interpretation, but what do you think
about scoring better vs worse???</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanx</DIV>
