<div dir="ltr">The "pause in center" is in the maneuver description to make explicit the distinction from the default rule for opposite point rolls that require the reversal to be immediate (no hesitation), as you see in some of the F3A sequences where they do 3 of 4 and then 3 of 4 opposite: 1/4 roll...1/4 roll...1/4 roll reverse 1/4roll...1/4 roll...1/4 roll.<div>

<div> </div>
<div>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> </div>
<div>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></var>2007 w/ a 2M plane...</div>

<div>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> </div>
<div>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> </div>
<div>Probably should have clarified this prior to the day before a contest... LOL</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
