As long as the best pilot got the highest scores, the judge did their job.
Wisdom has spoken here!
I believe CONSISTENCE will be the key with this rule. How the rule is dicussed, and tought in boot camps, and judging schools will also be VERY important!!!
Maybe if pilots are afraid of a deduction they will just fly closer to the judges to make sure the plane can plainly be seen? Maybe that's what the rule if for
.
To be honest with ya the only problem I can see that wouldn't be worked out, is to have a pilot with good eyes, fly out farther then the judge with bad eyes can see.
