Hey John,
<br>Masters is a lot more fun than Advanced and a heck of a lot easier!!!!!
I can't do either with any degree of precision, but the security factor
is much higher in Masters!

with a lot of milage. I am rooting for the guys that are old timers and
still at it. My skills are slipping in pattern competition but still well
enough to fly Advanced, just not enough to fly Advanced well. I am not
going away, just facing circumstances. The improvements I make in practicing
Advanced now days are almost imperceptable. I think I will take a hard
look at the Masters sequence. I need a change for my personal benefit.</font> <font size=-1>I
have good glasses, good hearing aids, etc, and it seems every day I meet

<font face="Arial"><font size=-1>So, John, How old are you? I'm 70
and no matter how much I practice my Advanced pattern gets slightly more
erratic every year! But, I am still one of the best flyers at our field
thanks to my Pattern practice; it Works... My eyesight is good, so I can
be judging. I am the ONLY pattern flyer at our field (San Luis Obispo,
CA, 90 members), 200 miles from any competition, and it gets old to drive
by myself. So due to that and circumstances I have not competed in 2 years.
This discussion group is my link to a sport I really enjoy and continue
to learn from.</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Wade</font></font>
