landing? If <BR>> you stop the slip before 6 feet off the ground then it
shouldn't <BR>> effect the judge. I guess after so many years of flying I
can tell <BR>> you that I'm a little tired of the judges and there petty
<BR>> preferences that shouldn't come into play. But hey that won't
<BR>> change things so I guess I'll learn to deal with it. Mike<BR>>
