<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">Probably should have clarified this prior to the day before a contest... LOL</div>
