Flying the entire sequence at full throttle is not a downgrade if it is smooth and graceful and all geometry is executed properly. The problem lay in the fact that many say that if it is not slow then it is not S&G, or one step further, if all aspects are not the same speed then it is not S&G. This is not in the rules, and that is a problem. </FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Hopefully, when that judge told you that you would have flown better if you had flown slower, he meant so you could
be smoother or get better geometry, but I cringe to think that some judge downgraded you because he thought you flew above his imaginary speed limit....that is what needs to stop.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>By the way...I get downgraded too because my uplines are faster than my horizontal lines. Its a quirk in my brain that I am trying to fix, because I know that when I fix it I will be flying better.....but its not in the rules! Certain guys in our district always hit me with this , and I am proud to say that I never retaliate in the chair. I find it better to somehow charge a beer to their account at the Saturday night dinner without them knowing. That is true revenge for makin' up the rules...............</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><BR><BR><BR>Gray Fowler<BR>Senior Principal Chemical Engineer<BR>Radome and Composites Engineering<BR>Raytheon</FONT> <BR><BR><BR> <TABLE width="100%"> <TBODY> <TR vAlign=top> <TD width="40%"><FONT

point is (and my installing exclaimations points) that this is not in the rules and any of you that are judging per this criteria are wrong and are damaging our beloved hobby. Be fair people and follow the rules, not your bias, as you will never know what the other judge's bias could possibly be...and I have heard many idiotic based judging bias. <BR>By the way I conducted a study, employed IPDS and produced a matrix that proves that such judging bias is the reason why the number of pattern flyers has steadily decreased over the last 20 years. If you wanna increase our numbers eliminate judges who do not follow the rules, it will be approximately 74.571% more effective than creating a "new rule" eliminating 2M planes from lower classes.</FONT><FONT size=3> <BR></FONT><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><BR>Signed, with love</FONT><FONT size=3> <BR></FONT><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><BR>Terminal Advanced Guy........until I can get rid of my kids...<BR><BR>Gray
