<DIV>I too have an issue to bring out on the M....... specifically the
F3A M</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A question, or closer to a statement actually, was posed to me at
the recent contest regardng the height of the middle looping element.....that
it did not have to have the same height as the entry/exit looping elements;
that it specifically was not written anywhere so it didn't exist.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My response is that the geometry must be preserved. As long as I've flown
pattern, this maneuver's geometry always required the looping elements to be
at the same height. The way I see it, if looping element heights are to be
different, we should see some verbiage to that effect in maneuver
description</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't have the maneuver description handy so if someone would please
post it, I'd appreciate it</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>regards</DIV>

<DIV>A question for the judging experts.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Figure M, both Masters and FAI- Yes I know the bottom line rule the best
presentation gets the best score, but a technical question.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maneuver flow in a crosswind. Plane starts maneuver at 140
meters distance out. During the first stall turn the plane drifts out
(recall this is a stalled maneuver); second stall turn the plane drifts out
again (same). Now the plane wind corrects in all other aspects of the
maneuver but exits approximately 20 meters further out than the entry and no
defects observed, but exit distance is 160 meters. What is the
score given for this maneuver?</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Best Regards,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
