RE: down line & up line snaps
For 2006, I can't see an Advanced guy go to Unlimited and feel ready for it. The gap is just too much. I have been flying Advanced for a little more than 2 years now and would like to try Unlimited as I place very well and consistently in Advanced.
I guess I will have to continue learning to fly... The sad part of it is that the only way (that comes to my mind) to fly these sequences good is to fly bigger to gain some time between figure elements. Not a good thing IMO.
