[NSRCA-dist7] Clarification on FAI maneuver 1

[James Oddino]

Questions:
Where does the maneuver start?  At a point in the upright level flight  
before the knife edge that is equal to the length of the knife edge?   
Is that part of the level flight considered point 1?

Is any level flight required before the full roll?

Where does the maneuver end?

Is there still a requirement to have level entry and exits as there  
was last time I read a rule book?

Just a little curious.  Not enough to read a rule book.
