Title: Bringing back a maneuver
Post by: Curtis Kitteringham on Mon, 03/14/22, 11:33 PM
  Bringing back Taxi Out as a MANEUVER, this was part of the USSMA maneuver list in the pass. It is time to bring it back into the contest world. I'm looking at a few reasons, Golden Age taildraggers are making a comeback in competition and with this the slow models can use this maneuver to limit their time in the air and speed up the flight line. Each maneuver has realism points with over all realism many contestants do not know this, with taxi out as a maneuver you maybe more inclined to present your model more realistic. As for end of flight that will remain the same which is....as soon as the contestant says Landing Complete or the model is rolling out after landing the round is completed. The contestant as before will need to exit the runway as soon as possible for the next contestants use.
Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible at this years Championship in Mesa Az.
