<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Andre - agreed - *if* judges are making the
appropriate "correction" as they watch. Of course, since the amount of
correction is different depending on depth of manuever in the box, or height,
seems that it takes a "known" angle (most everyone can ascertain a very accurate
45 degree line), and turns it into a "I think .... it's a .... corrected
.... -- degree line."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Which then means we have an
additional, and unnecessary subjective decision burden on BOTH pilot and judge
(who's a pilot, anyway).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I think if truth be told - - and
NO offense meant to anyone - - most folks are lookin' for the correct angle, and
NOT "correcting" for depth/height/distance/perspective.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> But I sure could be wrong about
this, too.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Emphasizing what Steve Maxwell has said,
true geometry must be flown at all times because....the rules do not say: pull
to what will appear to the judge to be a 45 degree line;" they say "pull
to a 45 degree line," meaning a real 45 degree line, etc.</FONT></DIV>
