Tony-
Right on. That's the beauty of this - we all have our own opinions. One never knows what one will glean from someone else's.
I do understand what you are saying. It has just become such common practice to kill it that I don't even notice it as odd anymore. At least at my home field. It is a luxury to have a 400-600 foot x 60 runway at some of these competitions though!
Geez, Tony, if I rip out my retracts now because I'm practicing your "new maneuver".......
Beginning Landing Now!!!!!
