Default RE: My suggestion to increase pattern participation

Arch I agree whole heartedly with you. Funny....I tried doing three rolls last weekend! It was quite laughable! Funny you bring that up. Yea just coaching a newbie into doing centered manuevers we are introducing them to turnaround manuevers. I just think we shouldn't burden the novice competitor with scoring them at that level since it is hard for them to understand what is expected. The concept of a centered manuever is easy for one to understand who may have no coach or experience. Easy for us experienced pilots to think a newbie should be able to pull it off..... I'd love to see this sport get bigger and bigger and it won't if we don't change what we are doing. Here's a suggestion ...lets make turnaround manuevers centered manuevers then.
