[NSRCA-dist1] Request for feedback - 3 Horizontal Rolls in Advanced?

[John Ford]

I was going to say the same as Ken. Did the three rolls in Intermediate years ago. 
Having said that, in those days, most of us would set up a "full stick" aileron rate for the roll and just inject timed up and down elevator inputs to keep the line. If your timing was good, it looked perfect…if it wasn't…it could get ugly.
It didn't teach us how to roll properly, but it did introduce the concept that you needed more than just aileron to roll.

Concerning timing of the rolls, one comment was that "it would be very easy to put in the 3 rolls description a minimum time of 4 seconds. Old description was from 4 to 6 seconds. 4 seconds may be a bit long depending on speed and box distance.”  Another discussion is that the Advanced contestant’s rolling skills are already well tested in the mandatory 4/4, slow roll, and snap roll; all of which are introduced in the Advanced class.  So do we need/want 3 horizontal rolls too?  Thanks for asking.
