<p class=MsoNormal>O.K. then--I was given the correct information. The
same-altitude requirement for the half-reverse Cuban is because of the figure
following, namely, the straight flight back. Therefore, it is a
de-facto same entry/exit altitude figure. Now, what Don Ramsay told me
makes perfect sense.<o:p></o:p></p>

As far as I know there is nothing different about the Sportsman
turnarounds (i.e. you CAN enter and exit at a different altitude) BUT you
have to remember that "Straight Flight Back" must be at the same
altitude as "Straight Flight Out" so this requires you to do the
turnaround maneuver between these two with the same entry and exit
altitude. Other than that, you can adjust your altitude with the
turnarounds - same as every other class. There is ahowever a right and a
wrong way to do this. you have to pay attention to the details in order to
get max. points<o:p></o:p></p>
