Default RE: Basic

I've got the Judging Guide and all applicable downloads from the IMAC site, and have read most of it. Like I said, I must have missed that part. Of course, when you're struggling to assimilate so much so soon, it all begins to run together. I've got my "book" with me, and will peruse it further today.

I did my first sequence practice yesterday; with a borrowed airplane.[&o] My engine/pump continues to mis-behave. I ripped out everything last night and will start over. In 18 years in the hobby, I've never had an engine give me so much grief. But that sucker isn't going to win; if I have to, I'll move the tank up into the engine box and plumb it normally.

Quick question... it appears to me that it is more important NOT to zero a manuever than it is to score high in any one manuever; in terms of a decent overall score.

True?
