it not the pilot's responsibility to simply fly the maneuver as <br>
depicted? Why then must they exaggerate a portion to placate a judge <br>
who wants to see it their way? Our judging training materials <br>
distinctly say not to downgrade just because the maneuver is not done <br>
the way you like. The example was one pilot making sharp corners in a <br>
square loop vs another making larger more rounded corner. Both are <br>
correct and should be judged identically but can anyone argue that one <br>
way should be downgraded because it was not the way "you like it" <br>
Stalls, snaps and spins are no different. Not the way I like it = so <br>
what. If it is done correctly it is always a 10. I would think that if <br>
the other judges are consistently giving "normal" scores and I am <br>
zeroing or giving some nominal score, that there has to be an issue <br>
going on. Am I the only one who is consistently right in my thinking <br>
and everyone else is all wrong? Or, could it be the other way around?<br>
