IAC Known Programs (2010 - All) ACBC LINKS PAGE -Weather Information Links, Modifying Pitts S-1 tips, Wiring Diagrams, Border Crossing Information, etc. AEROBATIC SEQUENCE DRAWING PROGRAM by Michael Golan Aerobatic Contest Scoring Program -- CIVA "Fairplay" Most advanced contest scoring program in the world Maybe the IAC executive will show some leadership on this next year and adopt it for IAC contests. It still has the capability to dummy down to raw averages if that's what IAC or the contest manager want, but that would be like switching your entertainment center to "mono" because you don't trust the five-channel surroundsound. Trust the math, most of use can't do a stress analysis of a B747 wing spar, but we ride in the airplane anyway.
