flying Advanced and these snap maneuvers are somewhat new to me after several
years out of pattern. I am experiencing a fair amount of inconsistency in
flying the three maneuvers in the schedule (Avalanche, 45 down snap and 3 turn
spin ‘all K-3’) having snap or spin elements. In looking at my score sheets
from three 6 round contests I find only two occurrences where there were a big scoring
difference 0 –7 & 8.5-3. Having judged snaps and spins a few times it can
be a very close call as to whether the criteria is met or not and as a pilot I
get the message that my presentation is questionable when I get large differences.

posting lower 6 round averages for these than the K-4 maneuvers (6 side outside

be a bigger factor than skill, which is primarily symmetry and positioning. Retaining
the K-3 gives us more incentive to acquire all necessary skills.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
