<DIV>Dave,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No pardon needed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Obviously enough, once the 1st radius is completed, it must be duplicated
3 times or downgrades will occur. However, the idea is this - 3 of 4
radii (any 3) on a square loop match - the 4th (any 1) is larger or
smaller. It doesn't matter whether the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th radius is
the one that does not match - the downgrade is for 1 radius being
mismatched.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A square loop at center could have 4 radii that are all different and
still be a square - judge the overall shape of the maneuver - ie -</DIV>
<DIV>- up and downline are equally spaced left/right of the center pole
and maintain vertical track, </DIV>
<DIV>- top and bottom lines maintain track with same entry/exit
altitude,</DIV>
<DIV>- distance between top/bottom lines is same as up/down lines.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And while I suspect you know, in addition to the entry and exit radii
needing to be equal on humpties, they are only 2 of the 3 radii in the
manuever - the entry and exit radii must be equal to the top (or bottom) half
loop radius. Same goes for things like the goldfish (entry, exit, and
3/4 loop) and golfball (entry, exit, and 3/4 loop) in the F3A schedules - and
those are probably 2 of the manuevers where I've seen the greatest variance in
radii.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"><FONT size=3>Please pardon my ignorance, but
I'm fairly new to pattern and judging.</FONT> <FONT size=3>I'm having a hard
time understanding this. Nothing was said about this at the judging seminar
I attended in June, (that I remember) except that radii should be
equal. Also, if maneuvers are judged on symmetry, how can, for instance, a
square loop or cuban eight be symmetrical if the radii are not all
equal?</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=3>Matt, I hope you can clarify your
answer as it seems contradictory to me. On one hand the first radius does
not set the standard for the others, but the entry and exit radii should be
the same for Humpty's and top hats etc??</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>That's correct. The first radius does not set the standard for the
others. If all are done same as the first, no downgrade due to radius
differencess. If 2 out 4 are different, 2 points or more depending on
severity.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Same rationale for other maneuvers like Humpty's, top Hats, or
Cuban 8's, or even stalls for that matter: entry and exit radii
should be same and if not, 2 points for that infraction alone or more
depending on severity</DIV>
