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>
