Interesting. Just wonder how you guys know a good way to measure progress in your current class, objectively.
I could do so by looking at the personal raw scores from contests. But these can be from different judges.
Any other good ways, such as video taping, comments from the caller?
All these are good.
Look at the raw scores from the most experienced and toughest judges, on manuevers that you thought had no downgrades. This will better help you pick out the little problems.
Then look at the score sheets from each round to see which maneuvers you consistently received low scores from all judges.
I like video. I think I learn a lot from watching videos of really good pilots flying Pattern.
