<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5>Remember, the maneuver is performed after a
previous box exit. So, you enter the box, have all day to set up for it,
and you're only doing 1 & 1/2 rolls either side of center. I've
seen guys use this much space doing the current 2 point with a significant
hesitation.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5>Archie is right on the money. That's the reason I

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Did you ever see anyone REALLY grease that
maneuver? I haven't. It ALWAYS looks rushed. And these are Masters pilots. Big
difference between them and Intermediate pilots. The only way it would work is
if both turnarounds (before and after the maneuver) were something like a
stall turn or a half square loop. Anything else would be tough for an
Intermediate pilot.</FONT></DIV>

home life became more complex, and you’re lucky to fly 10 practice flights

pretty interesting. From my perspective, I didn't really care who
beat me when I was in intermediate or advanced. I just knew that I was
seeing the skill level necessary to win. While it's nice to win a trophy
in the lower classes, I understood I wasn't competing against the best
pilots anyway. From what I've seen there is a huge variation of
talent within a class anyway. I've seen Masters pilots fly that
wouldn't win in advanced if they bumped back down (maybe not even in
intermediate). People move up for all kinds of reasons unrelated to
skill level. It's also interesting that we talk about using each
class to improve our flying until we get to Masters, then it appears
nobody wants to improve to FAI. </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN
