that's very deep insight Wayne.

seriously, as a pilot striving for a ten is like striving for perfection. we may never acheive it but we are constantly driven to achieve that "10". I am with Wayne though, I would probably never give myself a 10 on anything! I know what mistakes I make

as a judge, if no perceived downgrade is observed then by all means the manuver deserves a 10. I've given 10's before and not only to Unlimited pilots either. oh, and I hate hearing a judge say "I couldn't find anything wrong, but I just can't give a 10"

btw, why do I like flying IMAC?!? for the comraderie above all else. as far as the flying goes, you have to be driven within yourself to be a better pilot. sequence flying does that for me. most of the local club guys will never "get it", especially since they watch me practice a string of manuvers a hundred times a week just to fly 3 or 4 rounds on the weekends.
