<DIV>Agreeing with you on this one, (as I frequently do!)<G></DIV>
<DIV>I also disliked the double standard for the half-Cuban that required the
same entry/exit altitude for sportsman and allowed different altitudes for the
other classes, when both were turnarounds. Bad idea. Now corrected;
it's a moot point.</DIV>

<DIV>Jim,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What you said is exactly how I remember the judging discussion
presented at the Youth Masters re: IMAC stall turns. And I remember
thinking to myself that this is not the way we did it in pattern in the
'90s. Oh, well, I did not want this to turn into a pattern vs IMAC
discussion again. :-\</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Getting back to my original question, I think the stall turn should
be wind corrected as much as possible through the stall turn itself.
However, that is not how the maneuver description is written for the
Figure M or the Double Stall Turn. The language used for the regular
Stall Turn w/ or w/o Rolls should be duplicated, IMHO.</DIV>

– I can see where the confusion is - as I perfectly relayed the
information as taught in the SE judging seminar and confirmed in the
practical judging practice held on Sundays. The IMAC judging
committee interprets the definition to mean that the attitude
(fuselage) must be in the vertical plane during the rotation.
They further back this up by stating that if the plane were to be in
the “wind-corrected” attitude (not perfectly vertical) during the
rotation, that it would be subject to the 0.5 pt per 5 degree
rule. I’ve been in the room 3 times when Wayne M. has explained
this and answered many questions from it.</SPAN></P></DIV>

of discussion took place over this in the judging seminar.
Basically they are teaching that for “yaw” you can remain wind
corrected, but for the pitch axis, you must be in the vertical
plane. Sorry if this seems to contradict the rule, but this is
what is being taught and practiced in the South East. </SPAN>

think it looks funny, and I would prefer for the interpretation to
allow “wind-correction” for any time, but I must fly what they teach

this dovetails into the recent IMAC & Pattern comparison
threads. In IMAC, the plane is supposed to be brought into the
“vertical plane” prior to the stall-turn(pivot) taking place.
This is mostly evident if you are flying in a strong headwind where
you are wind correcting the vertical line. Just prior to the
stall turn, the pilot hast to pitch the plane into the vertical plane,
then yaw around the pivot, then return to the wind corrected down
line.</SPAN>

<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class=MsoNormal> Not sure where
you got this about IMAC, but it is incorrect. This may be the cause of
your confusion (from Rule 8.5):<BR><BR>The wings must remain in the
vertical geometric plane throughout the turnaround, and the aircraft‘s
attitude before and after the turnaround must be absolutely vertical
(unless wind correction is required), with no extraneous tail
movement. There must be no rotation around the pitch or roll axis. If
there is movement around any axis other than the yaw axis, often
referred as "torquing" (Fig. 25), there is a deduction of 0.5 points
per 5 degrees of axis.<BR><BR>At no time in IMAC is the actual
attitude of the plane judged, it is ALWAYS the track of the
theoretical center of mass. You are not required to alter the pitch of
the plane at the point if the rotation starts if the pitch attitude in
not vertical due to wind correction.<BR><BR><BR>
