<DIV>Hey, we ain't IMAC, re: snaps! And certainly not the Tucson Shootout. I've never seen such exaggerated pitch breaks in my life! 20 degree pitch breaks before any rotation. I think 5 points for AMA is severe, but doesn't kill you if you don't have a break.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As I read the landing rule, landing outside the zone is a proportionate downgrade. If you land less than 1.5 meters outside the zone (5% of the 30 meter zone), that is a 1/2 point downgrade, 3 meters or less is 1 point, etc. You'd have to land 30 meters from the line to get a zero just from this flaw. Do the rubber o-ring tires on MK tailwheels count as a part? ;)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm also reading that the 2 of 4 going into the split s (intermediate sequence) requires you to pull immediately after reaching the 2nd point. This was the way I thought it should be, but some were arguing that you had to hesitate after the 2nd point the same amount as you did between the points, then pull.</DIV>
