Race,

Take off is the first judged manuever and is complete when the aircraft reaches an altitude of 2 meters or approx. six feet.

After take off you turn downwind for your non judged trim pass and non judged turnaround back upwind. This turnaround is important, use it to set you altitude and distance out from the flgiht line that you desire.

You then enter the box at the desired altitude and distance and in a straight and level attitude, this begins your straight flight out and is a judged manuever. At a point of your choosing after the plane has passed the center line you will perform a 1/2 reverse cuban eight by climbing at a 45 degree angle and doing a half roll and then continuing upwards along the 45 degree line then pull to your half loop. After completing the half loop your heading will be 180 degrees opposite from your straight flight out and you should be at the same altitude as your straight flight out. This begins your straight return flight. After you have passed the center line in straight return flight you will pull the plane thru a half cuban eight which will reverse your direction again and you will be headed upwind and setting a line for your two loops. After you exit your loops you will exit the box headed upwind and will have a non judged turn around and will enter the box down wind for you two point role ( I believe it is). The remainder of your maneuvers will be in the box and all will be judged. After your final manuever you will exit the box upwind and will have a non judged pass downwind in preparation for landing. The landing scoring commences when the plane reaches an altitude of two meters and is complete after touchdown and a roll out of 50 feet.

Hope this helps if you need anymore clarification let me know.
