<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some say that by turning yourself to face the
model, it tends to contribute to your lines drifting in and out. Because
of that, it may be that some stand that way just to stay planted and help resist
turning left & right towards the model at the ends of the box. That
aside, you don't want to point your antenna at the model anyway. The
radiation pattern of the antenna type we use is weakest going straight out from
the tip. Best bet is to point your antenna fairly straight up.
Assuming it's a swivel joint type, you can face anyway you like and not point
the weak part of the RF field at the model.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Why this stance?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<P>I've been at a few contests and I noticed something odd, at least to
me.<BR>There were some guys who would stand with their legs wide appart
when<BR>flying, and I wonder why they do that?<BR>I suppose to keep better
balance, stop the urge to move around, or have more<BR>stability, but these
are only my guesses.<BR>On the same issue, do you like to keep your antenna
pointing straight ahead<BR>and up from you, or do you "follow" the plane with
it. I would think that it<BR>serves as a reference for the centering of
maneuvers if you keep it fixed in<BR>front of you.<BR>I know these issues may
just be personal preference, but maybe there are<BR>well funded explanations
for them and I'd like to hear them.</P>
<P>Any comments on these subjects would be greatly appreciated.</P>
