<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.</DIV></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><BR>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</DIV></DIV>

George</PRE><PRE>> don't worry about me being ostracized I spent the bulk of my</PRE><PRE> </PRE><PRE>> working</PRE><PRE>> life pointing out details to coworkers, managers and </PRE><PRE>> consultants who</PRE><PRE>> were generally unaware or disinterested. The consultants were </PRE><PRE>> fun, it</PRE><PRE>> didn't take long to overload them and I outlasted most of the</PRE><PRE>> managers.</PRE><PRE>> The devil</PRE><PRE>> is always in a seemingly unending string of details. During my </PRE><PRE>>
years</PRE><PRE>> in management, writing 'How It Works' documents filled</PRE><PRE>with </PRE><PRE>> detail, I</PRE><PRE>> found most folks were overwhelmed if exposed to all of it but </PRE><PRE>> it was</PRE><PRE>> necessary reference material.</PRE><PRE>> Most</PRE><PRE>> management meetings were filled with discussions exposing </PRE><PRE>> details and</PRE><PRE>> the relative importance to the individuals conc</PRE><PRE>> erned. It was always</PRE><PRE>>
enlightening.</PRE><PRE>> I guess</PRE><PRE>> what I am trying to say is that highly detailed rule books like</PRE><PRE> </PRE><PRE>> highly</PRE><PRE>> detailed SOP manuals can become so overwhelming that they </PRE><PRE>> become dust</PRE><PRE>> collectors. Kind of like the snap roll discussions where too </PRE><PRE>> much</PRE><PRE>> equals nothing.

If you fall into the trap of taking
anything</PRE><PRE>> I say as Gospel you may be opening yourself up to opposition </PRE><PRE>> and</PRE><PRE>> ostricism, so be forewarned.</PRE><PRE>> My reason</PRE><PRE>> for dealing with the clover was to establish some sense of what</PRE><PRE> </PRE><PRE>> size</PRE><PRE>> to make the loops. As you can see, when you clearly understand </PRE><PRE>> the</PRE><PRE>> geometry, the required size becomes a dictate. It's</PRE><PRE>> all in the details, Jim. Some people feel that I'm
over</PRE><PRE>detail</PRE><PRE>> oriented, but unless you understand the details you can't </PRE><PRE>> effectively</PRE><PRE>> perform OR judge the maneuver accurately. I inadvertently</PRE><PRE>> abdicated my own mantra by loosely referring to the looping </PRE><PRE>> portion of</PRE><PRE>> the clover as loops, when they're 3/4 loops. My bad. You </PRE><PRE>sound</PRE><PRE>> like you have a good handle on the clover. I would add that you</PRE><PRE>> further concentrate on making sure the vertical up and down </PRE><PRE>> lines
are</PRE><PRE>> dead-on superimpositionally.</PRE><PRE>> I also agree</PRE><PRE>> with the floor to ceiling approach as I'm constantly telling</PRE><PRE> </PRE><PRE>> new guys</PRE><PRE>> that I work with to "make it bigger." Adding to that</PRE><PRE>the</PRE><PRE>> requirement to maintain maneuver to maneuver relative size</PRE><PRE>> relationships, which addresses your question regarding the </PRE><PRE>> Sportsman's</PRE><PRE>> Cobra. Ya can't have a mini-Reverse and a gigandi Cobra.</PRE><PRE>I'm</PRE><PRE>>
glad you referenced that problem as it's a prime example of </PRE><PRE>> what I was</PRE><PRE>> talking about in my discussion on "maneuver</PRE><PRE>end-points." I </PRE><PRE>> think</PRE><PRE>> I remember a lot of agreement in previous discussions about the</PRE><PRE>> problem resulting in the conclusion that maneuver # 3 and=2</PRE><PRE>> 0# 8 needed</PRE><PRE>> to be switched to alleviate the cramping issue. I even thought </PRE><PRE>> this to</PRE><PRE>> be a viable solution at the time, that is, 'til you
brought</PRE><PRE>it</PRE><PRE>> up and then I realized that I was missing my own</PRE><PRE>> point. There is no size difference between the 1/2 Cuban and </PRE><PRE>> the</PRE><PRE>> 1/2 Reverse Cuban. That Reverse doesn't end until you get</PRE><PRE>all </PRE><PRE>> the way</PRE><PRE>> back to the beginning of the ENTRY line. CHECK THE ARESTI</PRE><PRE>> ! So, you see there is no advantage either way. What was</PRE><PRE>> probably needed was something like a Humpty.</PRE><PRE>>
Regarding</PRE><PRE>> the roll rate issue. I'm glad that Matt referenced that as I</PRE><PRE> </PRE><PRE>> was going</PRE><PRE>> to offer the three rolls in 5 seconds, but refrained as it's</PRE><PRE> </PRE><PRE>> too</PRE><PRE>> vague and would be quickly challenged. The 3 second rule on the</PRE><PRE>> Slow is a minimum value with no maximum indicated. It should be</PRE><PRE> </PRE><PRE>> pretty</PRE><PRE>> obvious that there should be a visually discernable </PRE><PRE>> differential</PRE><PRE>> between the two and becomes somewhat
subjective. This 1.67 </PRE><PRE>> second</PRE><PRE>> interval for the standard roll being established as a20maximum </PRE><PRE>> value</PRE><PRE>> would quickly come under attack I'm sure. I don't know</PRE><PRE>how the</PRE><PRE>> legislative process could be achieved on that one.</PRE><PRE>> My feeling,</PRE><PRE>> and it's only a feeling on the Cuban with 2 of 4 is similar</PRE><PRE>> to my stand on the triangle with the roll across the top i.e.</PRE><PRE>> presentable centering. I like to see a clearly defined
line</PRE><PRE>> before and after the rolling element and would prefer to see </PRE><PRE>> the roll</PRE><PRE>> consume less of the overall downline area than the two </PRE><PRE>> straight-line</PRE><PRE>> segments, but that's just ME. I confess that I would not</PRE><PRE>> like to see a standard rate that's so fast that I can't</PRE><PRE>keep up </PRE><PRE>> to the</PRE><PRE>> required corrections.</PRE><PRE>> I'd also</PRE><PRE>> like to thank you for your feedback. I wasn't sure anyone
</PRE><PRE>would</PRE><PRE>> read the whole diatribe.</PRE><PRE>> Georgie</PRE><PRE>> </PRE><PRE>> </PRE><PRE>> </PRE><PRE>> </PRE><PRE>> _______________________________________________</PRE><PRE>> NSRCA-discussion</PRE><PRE>> mailing</PRE><PRE>> =2</PRE><PRE>> 0 list</PRE><PRE>> NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</PRE><PRE>> http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</PRE><PRE>> _______________________________________________NSRCA-discussion</PRE><PRE> </PRE><PRE>> mailing </PRE><PRE>>
