We had a pilot at the Cajun Nats finish second place with a PHOENIX 7 against at least 5 other 2 meter planes. With the 10% no one could even have a chance against him.

<div class="">It certainly isn’t right to give a lesser pilot the win over a better pilot like John suggested, just because he flies a smaller plane. That certainly isn’t what our sport or competition is about. <br class="">

a 2M vs. a 1.75 or smaller airplane to critique the 10%. We'd be hard pressed, I think, to get a firm, accurate number to represent that difference. We'd have to have a single pilot fly both sized planes in front of a set of judges, probably multiple times,
to know if there was any real difference at all.
<div class="">That said, it's a penalty - something a pilot must choose to work with or around. If we want to discourage 2M, then pick a high number. If it's to level the field, pick a lower one.<br class="">

<div class="yiv7004707433MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt;">I just went into one of last years contests in intermediate. Pilot one’s first round scored a raw score of 350 and 331, his average raw score was 340.5 (he won the round). Pilot two’s raw score
for round one was 338 and 324.5, his average raw score was 331.25, add in the 10% handicap and it becomes 364.375. This moves him to first place in the round by a high margin. Totally changes the results. Add to that the normalizing and it becomes almost insurmountable,
considering pilot one outflew pilot two.<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></div>

<div class="yiv7004707433MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt;">10% is a lot. sportsman has 18 maneuvers so a perfect flight has a possibility of 180 points in raw score, 10% of that is 18 points. A flight with all 9’s would be a raw score of 162, 10% is 16.2
points. That pretty much means a pilot without the 10% advantage has to beat the pilot with the advantage by 1 point per maneuver on all the maneuvers to beat him, if they tie more than 2 maneuvers, then the handicap beats him. 10% is a high factor to overcome.<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></div>
