What is interesting is at the IAC schools they will stress that some of
the best judges are not pilots at all. In models we fall into this idea
that the higher class you fly the better judge you are and honestly I
have not really seen that to be the case. I have seen some uper class
pilots who were terrible judges and who barely know the actual
criteria. And I have seen lower class pilots who actually know the
criteria who make great judges.<br>

<p>I am sorry that we don't agree. I just reading what is written in
the rule book. With your credentials you should be able to
explain what is in the rule book. We have the problem that we first
wear the pilot hat and forget that it is more important to wear the
judge hat. Judges have the main responsibility to follow what is in
the rule book and use it to make the playing field equal for all
pilots. I recognize that it is very difficult task. </p>
