</B> <B>OK now here's where Earls explanation comes in: and he is correct, now it seems that some wording is off in the rules the word <I><U>simultaneous</I></U> should not be there as in the next sentence it clearly says that (initiated by a rapid stall of the wing induced by a change in pitch attitude) this tells me I have been doing this wrong all the time and need to do some work on this maneuver.<BR>

An old fossil head like me it is much easier to do all the sticks at one time, what I have always looked for is like the description on the snip, a cone and it is pretty easy to see when someone is rolling out of the maneuver instead of snapping all the way though. So now all that is left is to try and get these old hands and mind to relearn something in 3 weeks, and review the judging tape another time.</B><BR>
