<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">Some pilots are using the snap switch directly so there is no way to show the break unless elevator is applied before activation the snap switch. I am planning to give a zero if I cannot see the break or stall when I have the chance to judge this year. However, I know that complains will follow.<BR>

The break comes because of the stall/defines the stall and has NOTHING to do with how the pilot accomplished it (I.E. snap switch) Judge what you see and don't get to zero happy, personally I think some judges get to zero happy/spend too much time looking for a zero, rather than judging what they see. When you sit down in the chair your mind set should be "I will judge by the rule book" not "I'm going to catch someone in a zero", there is too much going on to spend much time on such things. Just judge what you see, by the rule book, there is plenty going on to judge.<BR>
