Is it possible to fly F3A and Masters both in the same contest? Is that
an allowable concept?

are a fair number of the FAI advocates that are returning to Masters class
because they percieve that the FAI sector is moving too fast and too far
in the wrong direction. Perhaps we can observe their efforts and benefit
from both their successes and failures.</FONT></FONT></FONT>

<P><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=+0>Well said John,
regarding politics and change. Pattern over the years, has attracted
the more informed modelers, so compromise from the ensuing debate on any
issue, is the best you can hope for.</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=+0>In regard to
F3A folk moving to Masters, I'd like to add that some who have made that
move in the past, are moving back to F3A. Another interesting thing I have
noticed is that some people who are in Intermediate are also practicing
F3A. I know two D3 members who are doing just that. Personally I think
that is great. Having flown Masters for most of the past 10 years, I flew
the PO3 a few times this fall, and I loved it. I will fly both next year.</FONT></FONT></FONT>
