<P align=left>Agree that the maneuver presents better when you watch the canopy on both stall turns, and the r-r / l-l roll technique is the right answer to get that. </P>
<P align=left>But we should be clear that roll direction and stall turn direction are NOT causes for downgrade. The 1/2 loop must be inverted, but I believe other than that, the pilot can roll either way, and stall either way he wants throughout the maneuver<STRONG>. </STRONG></P>
<P align=left>-=-=-=-=<BR>Here's the current comp. reg. on the Figure M, and the accepted proposal is below that. <BR><BR><STRONG>Figure M with 1/4 or 1/2 Rolls:</STRONG> </FONT><FONT face=TimesNewRoman size=2>Model pulls up into one-quarter (1/4) loop to a vertical track, hesitates then performs prescribed roll, hesitates then executes a stall turn through 180 degrees, hesitates, performs prescribed roll, hesitates then executes one-half (1/2) outside loop to vertical track, hesitates, performs prescribed roll, hesitates, executes a stall turn through 180 degrees, hesitates, performs prescribed roll, hesitates then recovers with another one-quarter (1/4) loop to level flight. <STRONG>Direction of rolls and stall turns are pilot’s option.</STRONG> The length of the vertical segments is not a judging criteria. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=TimesNewRoman size=2>Downgrades:<BR><B><FONT face=TimesNewRoman,Bold size=2>1. </B></FONT><FONT face=TimesNewRoman size=2>Model not vertical at start and finish of rolls and stall turns.<BR></FONT><B><FONT face=TimesNewRoman,Bold size=2>2. </B></FONT><FONT face=TimesNewRoman size=2>Stall turns not exactly 180 degrees. <BR></FONT><B><FONT face=TimesNewRoman,Bold size=2>3. </B></FONT><FONT face=TimesNewRoman size=2>Model does not execute prescribed rolls.<BR></FONT><B><FONT face=TimesNewRoman,Bold size=2>4. </B></FONT><FONT face=TimesNewRoman size=2>Rolls not centered in vertical lines.<BR></FONT><B><FONT face=TimesNewRoman,Bold size=2>5. </B></FONT><FONT face=TimesNewRoman size=2>Bottom of outside half loop not at same altitude as entry and exit.<BR>=-=-=-=-=-</P></FONT></FONT>
<P class=MsoNormal><STRONG>*****Here's the accepted rules proposal wording</STRONG>: Edit page 79-80 Figure M with ¼ or ½ rolls” to include ¾ roll options.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Edit “Figure M with ¼ or ½ rolls”.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Replace with “Figure M with or without rolls”.</P>
