Kule,
My entire reason for replying to this post is the sheer fact that we are trying to IMULATE Full Scale Aerobatics. I too have quite a bit of full scale experience and can tell you that if we all tried to imulate the full scale exactly, there would be a lot of catching up to do.
Prime Example:
The Snap Roll - This maneuver is impossible to accomplish with rudder and elevator alone in models. If we were subject to the same criteria that a Sukhoi performs a snap, all modelers would receive a score of 0. Myself Included. The Full Scale Sukhoi does the best text book Snap Rolls. The nose pitches VIOLENTLY up or down and commences autorotation not by Aileron, but by Rudder. Aileron may be used to speed up the Snap and or stop the Snap Crisply. Modelers cheat with the use of aileron to aid in autorotation.

The entire just of my continuance in this matter is the point of fact.
I have lost, and seen too many contests lost because of the tailslide. The FLOP is the most dreaded maneuver that I can possibly fathom. You have worked your entire life, weather it be for a week or 15 years to get to this point in competition all to see it windle away in a FLOP.
The differences in a Known and Unknown program are very sound.
Talk to Chip, QuiQue, or Christophe. Each one is not worried about the other in the Classic Section of the Unknown. What is the one question that they will always ask after an Unknown Program.
Did he/she get the Slide?
Why?
Because, in models, there is a huge disadvantage. There is a point of NO CONTROL. Cheat all you like, but then you run the greater risk of the FLOP. THERE IS A PIONT OF NO CONTROL if you do the Slide Textbook, and move the Control Surfaces coming backwards PERIOD. I DO NOT LIKE NO CONTROL, hence my argument for Classic Figures in the Known.
I am not saying completely omit the figure, but rather omit the figure from the known program.
The Sequences are final, so there is nothing that I can do except practice 10,000 Slides before next year, shut up, and fly.

On a lighter note:
I have found some sponsorship and been given the gracious opportunity to fly a Full Scale Extra 300L next year. I have been doing some flying, and plan to go for the U.S. World Team in 2005.
My goals next year far superseed this year and I can't wait to get started. Models and Full Scale have been a life-long dream of mine. To make the US Team would be amazing!
