F2B proposed rules and judging guides

A few days ago, Andy Sweetland emailed me two very good PDF files which outline the FAI's proposed F2B rule changes and judging guide(with a very complete illustrated list of maneuvers). I recommend them highly.

You can download them from the PAMPA web site using the following links:

Check them out.

scanned through the judges guide. It is a big improvement over current practice, with actual recommended scores for various qualities of maneuvers. They missed the boat on training though. Discussion and "leveling" of scores is a proven method, during the calibration flights, of improving the precision and consistency of judging.

Larry,

I'll look at the proposed rules and stuff later.

Meanwhile, that picture you supplied with your post is, according to my tastes, the coolest picture I have ever seen on this site.

(And, yes, we know all about your favorite picture; just quit it!)

Thanks,

This was my favorite picture, Dan:
