Just want to clarify one point. The square loop on corner is definitely
not a power hogging maneuver. The initial 1/2 roll is performed with no
more difficulty than a Revese Cuban and after the 1st corner you are on
a low drag 45 up line, still at full throttle, 2nd corner takes you into
a gravity asssisted 45 down and the roll is once again a cuban element,
3rd corner coasting back to the start point. I do this maneuver all the
time with models that don't have unlimited vertical. Piece o'cake! I've
got another model that's an 11&1/2 pound 2 meter bird with a
140 FZ that does it like it had a DZ in it.
<BR>Now if you want to talk about the 9 with the 3 half rolls, it's a whole
different ball game, but the Sq. on corner is not in the same league.

<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>Rhino Hide yes sir!!!.... Got that one.......and
Verne is right we put this thing together and worked on it to try to get
a good flow from one maneuver to another...no duplication type stuff....and
also present a sequence that was challenging and offered some new twists. Its
a tough job. The idea was see if we could do a better job....not tear down
what had been done. As for input asked for to create the survey yes
there was time.....The idea came while filling out the survey at the NATS...and
many like the choice of none of the above! AND no I didn't feel
left out Lee....rather it was done to give a choice aside from the NSRCA.
I agree the NSRCA has a huge role to play in rules changes....That's a
really good thing. I'm not disputing or attacking that....Just because
it came from the NSRCA doesn't mean it should be done.....and just because
it didn't come from the SIG doesn't mean its crap. The current formula
means the NSRCA has only one sequence they submit and that's it. You can't
tell me that every single person in the NSRCA was happy with the choice
of #1.....it was up to a majority vote as it should have been. The selection
was by the counting of those votes as it should have been. This
was the NSRCA's red tape choice......The D6 solution was just another option
and never intended to down play the choice of the NSRCA membership.....but
as I have said many pattern flyers in this country are not NSRCA members
any longer......For whatever the reason. We had 1200 and for some reason
or many reasons we are now down in the 600+ range I don't have the number
any longer...but I do know and all can agree our numbers are down.......as
a Society and then look at Texas contests they get 30+ guys all the time
where as a couple years ago they were in the 20's So its growing down there.
Look at Masters at this years NATS an all time High I bet or at least since
the Muncie move! hey I'm trying to do a good thing here and
give people a choice! that's all.....You don't buy Zenith if you want Sony....but
if all you can buy is Zenith because Sony is sold out......well then load
it up cause Monday Night Football starts in 30mins. Troy

Wojtek,
<BR>Sounds great on paper but doesn't work in reality. The key element
missing
<BR>in this approach is flow. There's lots of neat maneuvers out there
to choose
<BR>from. The difficult part of schedule building is getting the right
mix that
<BR>includes a good balance of maneuver types, difficulty level, challenge
<BR>considerations, wind direction and flow from one maneuver through the
next.
<BR>Try assembling a whole schedule and you'll see what I mean. If you
REALLY
<BR>want a thrashing, post it out here or somewhere for public scrutiny.
You'll
<BR>need the hide of a rhino to take the abuse <g>.
