Radio Control SPORT AEROBA TICS Ron Van Putte YOU MAY NOT have heard about influential people pushing have Aresti style aerobatic judging made standard classes AMA Pattern competition case arent familiar Aresti style judging involves entire flight pattern time airplane flies judging box includes judging turnarounds end field well individual maneuvers nature Aresti judging makes very difficult impossible have airplane aloft same flight line Simul taneous flights two airplanes would require substantial lateral spacing flight lines preclude having flight paths airplanes overlapping Since flying fields cant ac commodate flight line use Aresti would mean number rounds Pattern competition weekend contest would reduced significantly reason alone appears switch Aresti style judging Pattern competition ill-advised Most opinions see column reflection what Ive heard read other fliers express magazine management likes act like reporter less like activist usually manage curb putting opinions columns However move Aresti pattern happening fast Im afraid will way life Pattern competition before people realize what happening can express opinions influential people pushing acting like something going happen anyway resisting futile disagree will use way can continue resist movement use Aresti pattern AMA classes months column form resistance hope others will join opinion alone wont sway decision makers agree take action let decision makers know feel maybe can prevail Lest think push Aresti style ofjudging ill-founded let assure based very good intentions recent years Tournament Champions TOG Las Vegas has moving firmly direction Aresti style judging models flown have evolved type aircraft substan tially different flown past FAT RC Aerobatic World Championships Now under stand next World Championships will flown using rules aircraft very much like used TOC next US World Championships team will need substantial experience flying against Aresti style judging new-style airplanes team will have tough job winning World Championships experience equipment What better way give team best chance win adopt Aresti style judging US Aerobatics events way top fliers can develop flying techniques aircraft regularly during con test season can select best team represent United States World Cham pionships addition classes adopt Aresti style will develop fliers progres sive manner will always large number experienced fliers moving Masters class replace leave top levels competition Sounds great doesnt dont think will work out way biggest problem see discussed earlier Aresti style judging will cause sub stantial reduction number rounds Pattern can flown during typical weekend Pattern contest competitors already complaining dont get enough flights contest flights conducted two flight lines Can imagine what will happen few contests have 44 Model Aviation Heres great STOLshorttakeoff landing sport model built Gary Sutton Ashby NE Does have familiar look Its
