There are no low level finished in the comps, the vast majority of comp finishes are straight-ins which are really long finals. The rest, for people who have too much energy for a straight in, they are regular circuits. Most comps explicitly forbid low level, high energy finishes (aka bit ups). Regards Jarek

Well, sure, you could give strong-feelings-and-make-believe a try if you want, but if you can’t baseline a “before” and “after” picture I’m not sure how you’ll work out whether or not you’ve advanced the state of the art. There have been a significant number of accidents and fatalities in the last few years during comps which were related a style of flying which is unique to comps… low finishes. Is that a true statement? This type of accident is rare or non-existent outside comp flying.
