The Powerpoint for F-15 is incorrect on the NSRCA site. Peter Uhlig did the original and this is what he originally drew. I contacted Michael Ramel about this and Peter updated the presentation. It is really simple. The entry loop starts at center, the upline is then displaced from center, the upper loop is centered and the integrated roll is centered on the pole. That means the model comes through center level upright. Entry and exit lines have no bearing on the centering of the loop, the main criteria is the entry radius defines the size of the loop on top. Peter’s latest Powerpoint shows this clearly and has been confirmed by the F3A chairman.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Don<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org [mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>J N Hiller<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, April 08, 2014 7:25 PM<br><b>To:</b> General pattern discussion<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [NSRCA-discussion] >From the Judges Chair<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in'><span class=EmailStyle50><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I’m one of the folks that sit in the chair and judge this stuff.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in'><span class=EmailStyle50><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Referencing - 2014 FAI Sporting Code - F3 Aerobatics.pdf - under lines 5B.8.3, entry and exit lines need to be horizontal and of recognizable length.

I could buy anywhere in the 3/4 loop portion but not somewhere.<br>The center you are describing would appear to be affected somehow by the entry and exit lines of the maneuver as per your description in the March K-Factor. I don't see that. This maneuver(figure 9) could be described as a single loop with a straight vertical line between the first quadrant and the last three quadrants. What rolls occur do not affect that basic shape. That places the center of the maneuver at the initial pullup into a quarter loop just as it would for a simple loop. The apex of the 3/4 loop would also be on the centerline and so would the return to level flight at the exit.<br>As far as the straight line entry and exit being somehow offset, I don't see that either. The entry line ends at the quarter loop pullup and exit line begins upon completion of the 3/4 loop. Those two points should form a vertical line. I see that as the maneuver centerline as well.<br>It's certainly true that the aresti shows the wrong center and it is certainly true that the sub-committee chair has the last word but he should be using a better word than "somewhere".<br>John</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;border:none;padding:0in'><span style='color:black'>On 4/8/2014 3:22 PM, Derek Koopowitz wrote:</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:1.2in;margin-right:.5in'><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;border:none;padding:0in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Anthony,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;border:none;padding:0in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;border:none;padding:0in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>This shouldn’t be confusing at all… the center of the maneuver is the middle point between the start and end of the maneuver.
