<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One thing I noticed and this happened on my flight
line when I was judging Masters. I was lined up right on the center pole
and the other two judges where off to my left... not just a little... but way
over in the shade. Could explain why your end box maneuver got scored a
little lower then the other two judges. This is something I noticed across
the board. Could be the outer judges where seeing the box violation
differently.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wasn't judging you when the elevator
broke but I was when of the ones screaming at you to get it out of the
air. The whole stab was floppin back and forth. </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>Glad to see you saved the plane.</FONT></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE><?smaller>We have heard from a lot of Advanced pilots about the
judging on that line. I would like some feed back from Masters and FAI
on the prelims judges. My very limited survey seems to indicated that
those lines had very good judging. I had a lot of 5s & 6s and some
good scores but overall my scores, in my opinion, were spot on. I'm
only asking about the prelims.<?/smaller><BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I had some weird
scores on some flights. On the first round, my scores had a 94 point raw score
spread (one judge was consistently high). The second round had only a 14.5
point spread (These judge hung together; the worst being an 8.0/6.0/7.0 on the
1/2 Inside Loop w/ 2/4 Roll Out). The third round had only a 28.5 point spread
(this despite a 9.5/9.0/6.5 on the 1/2 Outside Loop w/ 2/4 Pt Roll Out). The
fourth round had a zero spread (an elevator half came unhooked from the clevis
and I landed before completing the first airborne maneuver)! The fifth round
had a 63 point spread, including a 3.0/8.0/6.0 on the Vertical Square 8. The
sixth round had only a 33.5 point spread, however, it included 6.0/9.0/8.0 on
the 1/2 Inside Loop w/ 2/4 Roll Out, 6.5/8.0/8.5 Top Hat w/ 3/4 Roll Up, 1/4
Roll Dn and a 6.0/8.0/6.5 on the 1/2 Sq Loop w/ 1/2 Roll Out. <BR><BR>I can
accept up to 1.5 point spread from three judges on a maneuver, but more than
