An immediate reversal wouldn't show a pause and also would be darn near impossible to center. Most of us seem to be late on this one so I try to start early and roll out before I really think I need to.<br><br><hr id="zwchr"><b>From: </b>"Ihncheol" <pnahobbies@sbcglobal.net><br><b>To: </b>"Larry Diamond" <ldiamond@diamondrc.com>, "General pattern discussion" <nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Friday, September 13, 2013 11:17:36 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Intermediate Question - Two 1/2 rolls, Opposite<br><br><div>Larry,</div><div>Since the manuever descriptions doesn't specify the length/time, there isn't specific length of hesitation.</div><div>However, I wouldn't stay long since it is down wind with Humpty bump with option is following.</div><div>I usually try to keep it no longer than a second for the hesitation.</div><div><br></div><div>Ihncheol</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:75%;color:#575757">Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note® II</div></div><br><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: Larry Diamond <ldiamond@diamondrc.com> <br>Date: 09/13/2013 9:31 AM (GMT-06:00) <br>To: General pattern discussion <nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org> <br>Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Intermediate Question - Two 1/2 rolls, Opposite <br> <br><br><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div style="RIGHT: auto">How long does the pause at inverted need to be.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">If I roll inverted and then roll upright in the opposite direction, is it assumed there was a pause because it is natural in 1/2 rolls in opposite directions; or, must there be a lengthy hesitation?</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">It's been awhile since I've flown in a contest... 2010 with a Zen 50 (only two contest that year); prior to that was <var id="yui-ie-cursor"></var>2007 w/ a 2M plane...</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">As I recall the length of pause is not a downgrade. However, being a spectator at a contest earlier this year I noted many Intermediate pilots with a very long pause, almost or likely an inverted flight segment in the manuever as the length of inverted seemed much more than just a pause perhaps a second or so.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">Inverted segment must be centered. For scoring, if I roll early to inverted, I must hold the same length on the other side of center so that the inverted segment is centered. Not a questioning this...</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">Probably should have clarified this prior to the day before a contest... LOL</div>
