I dislike the advance sequence. It may be fun to fly, but it stinks to judge. Especially if every pilot insists on gigantic figures. As I mentioned before, Figures 1 and 3 are flown way out on either end to accommodate the 180 roller. Then they would have to drive to the extreme opposite side of the "box" to begin a three figure line.

Then, figure 8 is a half roll, half inside loop with an 8 point roll on the exit, followed by a negative spin. If you did the half inside loop tight, then the 8 point really put you in the next county for the spin. So many did the spin downwind at the Challenge that it ended up in the next county. Most didn't do it tight, but that didn't stop them from driving into the next county anyway to do the spin.

I did not like judging advance.
