Hi guys. I participated in these competitions. Protocol is not from this championship. Here is the correct protocol. Sorry, very poor quality. I highlighted the names of the participants represented in the video

I noticed the clover was entered from level flight into a vertical climb, it looks cleaner.  Will this change be implemented in the good old USA?

What struck me was the width of the hourglasses.  So unlike the "bean Pole" ones so popular here with all but a few.  I guess that much of that is their flying tighter corners which allows for it.  Are we looking at the top Russian fliers here? 

Comment on the Clover.  I have been a proponent of the level flight entry for a very long time.   I have flown plenty that way but this is the first time I have seen one on video in a competition environment.  Not only does it look easier, which is not a reason to change, but it looks better and easier to judge which is.  Thanks to Keith for making the proposed change and thanks to the committee for supporting it.  Interestingly, the two fliers we saw did it both ways.  I hope we don't go that route but from what I remember of the proposal, we won't.

I don't think we have that many pilots under 18 that can fly even close to that level in the country.  When was the last time you saw 9 seniors at a contest, including the Nats.

Ken, we have 50-60 F2B pilots all over the country, including these boys.
