<DIV>I agree 100%. Actually the 60 degree box-top violation
downgrade is directly proportional to the paint I feel in my neck.</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=435570318-02032007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
find hiding the overall geometry by flying too large for the closeness to be
as just as objectionable (or maybe moreso) as flying too far out to
see the details like wingtip wiggles etc.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=435570318-02032007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

poor overall geometries as well, because they can't see

<DIV>Talking about "Craftsmanship". Sometimes, I have seen some
pilots flying very close and big maneuvers. That makes difficult for
the judge to appreciate the geometry. I have been downgrading
depending on the severity but never seen specifics in the rule book
(besides going pass 60 degrees in severe cases). Just to hear
opinions. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dean, I am going to dig it out and look,
but i believe the Full Scale judging book does put the onus on the
pilot.I'll check on it. I know some info I got from them a while ago
read that way.It was part of their "Judging Evaluation"
process.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll look and see if I kept
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anywho I totally agree that if the pilot
wants the best scores -over time- he needs to show his skill not throw

points are so fast as to make it indiscernible what angle they
occurred at, then I would tend to doubt whether the point occurred
at all. Score 0. It is the pilot’s responsibility to present the
maneuver in such a manner to demonstrate that the maneuver has in
fact been done according to the rules. I sincerely doubt that a 4
point can be done in 1.25 seconds with defined stops in the roll
every 90 degrees. But it remains that if, as a judge, you cannot
clearly see the relevant elements of any maneuver being performed,
then you should assume that IT HAS NOT been performed. The
elements must be demonstrated not assumed.

our favorite list questions.<BR><BR>This comes from a real life
judging problem. The question is about the 4-point
roll. This what I am seeing. A 4 point roll that takes
less than 1.25 second to complete. You can see 4 very short
pauses. The manever appears to be centered. I see no
change in height or coming in or out. It appears to be
between 150M and 175M. But the pauses are so short that I
cannot really tell if the rolls between pauses are 90
degrees. So I cannot see what the 1 point per 15 degree down
grade should be.<BR><BR><BR>What would you
