In FAI, the "<strong>first"</strong> radius of the maneuver establishes all radius's of the maneuver. In AMA classes, the last radius flown in the maneuver establishes the radius of the next (radius) in the maneuver. . <br>

<div><font style="background-color:transparent">A question on radius judging. Tight radius (or loose radius) manevuer segments are subject to downgrade in FAI. What constitutes a tight radius? Physically tight (in feet, for example), or tight (fast speed through the radius giving the impression that the plane is pulling excessive g's, however that is interpreted). A slow flying radius could be extremely tight, for example the last radius at the bottom of the triangle loop (135 degree pull) or figure Z.<br>
