style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The maneuver under consideration
is the 1/2 Reverse Cuban, not the Cuban and the question that Jim seems to be
wrestling with is the end point of the maneuver. Aresti drawings of all
maneuvers are drawn with a circle on the line of flight indicating the
starting point of the maneuver and a vertical bar indicating the ending point
of the maneuver. If you look at RCA-09 in the rulebook you will find an Aresti
outline of the Sportsman sequence. You will also note that the 1/2 Reverse
Cuban displays the end point of the maneuver as being in line with the entry
point ( minus the straight entry line ). The originator of the drawing appears
to have gotten the Aresti's correct, but has been remiss in displaying the
exit lines on most maneuvers. If the maneuver was complete when the 5/8
looping segment was complete then the vertical Aresti END BAR would have
occurred at that point. All the Aresti figures I can find display all
turn-around maneuvers as having their end-points coincidental with their
starting points.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">As pointed out by Vicente in
RCA-19 there is a requirement for all maneuvers to start and end with a
straight horizontal line. In the absence of a line, in either case, there is a
2 point deduction. While it's true that the length is not
delineated, that wasn't always the case. Just another example of the
dillution of long established protocols by well meaning individuals intent on
making things better.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

please correct me if I am wrong but as I remember from previous
judging seminars 'all maneuvers start from and finish with straight
and level flight' (upright or inverted). This leads me to believe
maneuvers start and stop when they deviate from S&L flight in
either roll or pitch and do not include either a lead in or exit
line segment.</SPAN></FONT></SPAN> <o:p></o:p></P>

know, Aresti figures are a universal / international language used
by IAC competitors. They are often displayed on their instrument
panels as a sequence quick reference guide. If we were to try to fly
each figure as drawn most turnarounds would need an altitude change
with some having strange angles. If all turnaround maneuvers
finished or started with their widest part, either entering or
exiting something like the reverse humpty which is 3 radiuses wide,
if flown on line, would need to include an exit line equal to 2
radiuses in length. I don't think so!</SPAN></FONT></SPAN>

what I am trying to say is that highly detailed rule books like
highly detailed SOP manuals can become so overwhelming that they
become dust collectors. Kind of like the snap roll discussions where
too much equals nothing. Yes it's time to dump a lot of old e-mail.

for dealing with the clover was to establish some sense of what size
to make the loops. As you can see, when you clearly understand the
geometry, the required size becomes a dictate.
It's all in the details, Jim. Some people feel that I'm over detail
oriented, but unless you understand the details you can't
effectively perform OR judge the maneuver accurately. I
inadvertently abdicated my own mantra by loosely referring to the
looping portion of the clover as loops, when they're 3/4 loops. My
bad. You sound like you have a good handle on the clover.
I would add that you further concentrate on making sure the vertical
up and down lines are dead-on superimpositionally.</SPAN></FONT>

agree with the floor to ceiling approach as I'm constantly telling
new guys that I work with to "make it bigger." Adding to that
the requirement to maintain maneuver to maneuver relative size
relationships, which addresses your question regarding the
Sportsman's Cobra. Ya can't have a mini-Reverse and a gigandi
Cobra. I'm glad you referenced that problem as it's a prime example
of what I was talking about in my discussion on "maneuver
end-points." I think I remember a lot of agreement in previous
discussions about the problem resulting in the conclusion that
maneuver # 3 and # 8 needed to be switched to alleviate the cramping
issue. I even thought this to be a viable solution at the time, that
is, 'til you brought it up and then I realized that I was
missing my own point. There is no size difference between the
1/2 Cuban and the 1/2 Reverse Cuban. That Reverse doesn't end until
you get all the way back to the beginning of the ENTRY line.
CHECK THE ARESTI ! So, you see there is no advantage
either way. What was probably needed was something like a
Humpty.</SPAN></FONT> <o:p></o:p></P>

the roll rate issue. I'm glad that Matt referenced that as I was
going to offer the three rolls in 5 seconds, but refrained as
it's too vague and would be quickly challenged. The 3 second
rule on the Slow is a minimum value with no maximum indicated. It
should be pretty obvious that there should be a visually discernable
differential between the two and becomes somewhat subjective. This
1.67 second interval for the standard roll being established as a
maximum value would quickly come under attack I'm sure. I don't know
how the legislative process could be achieved on that
one.</SPAN></FONT> <o:p></o:p></P>

feeling, and it's only a feeling on the Cuban with 2 of 4
is similar to my stand on the triangle with the roll across the top
i.e. presentable centering. I like to see a clearly
defined line before and after the rolling element and would prefer
to see the roll consume less of the overall downline area than the
two straight-line segments, but that's just ME. I confess
that I would not like to see a standard rate that's so fast that I
can't keep up to the required corrections.</SPAN></FONT>
