Sorry to argue with you, but I do have a sequence criteria that was published by IMAC for what the limits were in each family of maneuvers for each class. Known or unknowns. So far in all my IMAC flying over the past several years I have never seen anything that deviated from that published criteria. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see more than a single snap in intermediate, but I would like to have an updated list or you guys could be flying some very interesting unknowns if you come to Phoenix in February next year to fly in the return of "The Cactus Classic".
The official Unknown catalog is being re-worked right now. It needs a fair bit of work. As far as the Knowns, sorry, since I worked on the 2005 submittals I think I can tell you that there was NOT a document that was used. We had discussions with the BoD as to what was desired, what was acceptable and so on. But the only really official document is the Unknown one. And believe it or not, but there are things that are legal for a Known that are not OK for a Known. Any Unknowns that I write in 2005 will comply fully with the new catalog of Unknown figures, once it is finalized.
Hope that helps.
