Contesting tip! Read the rule book! Yes, rules, well rule… Read the rules frequently so you are sure that you are performing the maneuvers exactly as described and you stay within the flight window for maximum scoring opportunities. Make sure that you and your caller know what those cones on the flight course are for (the flight window and centerline). Make sure you and your Caller know if you can reposition the model in the hovering maneuvers if you land outside the circle. Make sure you and your Caller know if you can make a free pass during your aerobatic maneuvers. Make sure the Judges know if you are making a free pass. In the AMA Precision Aerobatics Classes, be sure the you and your Caller knows that there is no talking (coaching) between ya’ll, other than the start and end of the maneuver. Read any Judges Guides that you can find and make sure you are not making the judges perspective for downgrading easier. Judges hate to downgrade, but they will if you insist. Comments and discussion welcome!
