S&G-trust me....I know<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>S and G equal or implies slow and
better control????? Once again this is read between the lines, then say it
enough and it gotta be right ...right. If you, a Masters pilot told a
whole generation of Sportsman pilots that even though the rules say
NOTHING about how fast a roll is, a proper roll is slow =S&G then when they
are Masters they will spew the same BS. I think thats what we have here.
To me, a crisp roll that starts and stops at the proper points is harder to do,
and thus shows more control, but regardless I score it exactly the same as a
slower roll that starts and stops at the proper point..all other things equal-
and I do beleive thats what the rules say.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>For those that want to imply the S&G is a main scoring point I think
you as a person are missing some kind of "romance" in your life and are trying
to apply it to a bunch of toy airplanes....Some how showing your belly is not a
romantic as showing your top....which under some circumstances I would agree
with but not on an airplane.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Smooth
means do not be jerky...speed has nothing to do with it. If you go too fast then
you MIGHT get jerky. If you as a judge, are downgrading a manuever because it is
faster than what you think it should be, and you do not have a true recordable
downgrade then you are damaging Pattern. If you EVER tell a Sportsman or
Intermediate such drivel the you are damaging Pattern.</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>Graceful means God knows what and hence the problem
here-Wait....Graceful applies to the judge, which means do not be an Icehole by
applying non written rules.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>By the
way, in my opinion, ALL of my posts are extremly GRACEFUL. If you
disagree, you are just plain wrong, I know, I am a Master Poster.</FONT>
