Thanks for the clarification. All good input. I flew a pattern contest this past season. The difference was very interesting, lots of focus on geometry. I think the FAI schedule had only 2, maybe 3 snaps. Still a very difficult sequence to fly well. Mike makes an excellent observation about the rollers. I whole heartedly agree with the fact that it seems to be a lost art, especially with the lower "k" factors for them.

One small push here, if you guys have input for the sequences, please log in to the members only area of www.mini-iac.com and provide some feedback. I can tell you that the board members are watching these type discusions to get a feel for the memberships desires, but it is far outweighed byt the actual coment section on the IMAC web page.
