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>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>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Is there a "downside" to running
Powermaster 20-20 in the 145 Webra?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Do I recall correctly that the first
