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> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>ed</DIV> <div> <HR> <div></div>_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<BR>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</BLOCKQUOTE>_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<BR>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
