<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Alan,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I've been flying Intermediate for the past 2
years and started practicing the <FONT face="Comic Sans MS">45º down positive
snap before the "Powers that Be" decided I wasn't qualified enough to perform
that maneuver. I've talked to several other Intermediate Class fliers and
asked them their opinion. I have yet to find anyone that didn't want to
fly it. The 45º down snap is not hard to learn.... Just start with a
shallow dive and work into it. </FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Is this for real?.......putting a
45ºdown positive snap into Intermediate????</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Has anyone asked a Sportsman pilot
lately to point his plane downward at a 45º down attitude, fly a straight
line, DO A SNAP, fly more of a straight line, and then pull to level
flight?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>IMHO, if you are putting that maneuver
in Intermediate, you will be scaring off many potential Intermediate flyers. I
can only speak for myself, but, when I was at that level, you could not have
even paid me to do that. I had trouble staying on the proper line doing a
sequence of "Immelman....Outside loop....Split S" (which was in the sequence
at that time).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>I know that your decision on this does
not affect what I will be flying, BUT, it is something I believe in
passionately. I have been a member of the Canadian Precision
Aerobatics Committee for a few years and this type of scenario keeps coming
up. I think that most of us making decisions on these matters have NOT
flown in Intermediate for several years and we have forgotten what it was
like to step up to that level.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>PLEASE, go out, yourselves, and
talk to Sportsman flyers about this......Maybe even see if they will try to
fly the proposed sequence (or just this maneuver).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Thanks to the supporters of this list
for creating a media where someone (like me) can send out an opinion (like I
just did) and none of you will be seeing me until next summer when you will
have forgotten all about this ( I hope).......RUNNING FOR
SHELTER.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last year I heard a rumor that the
Intermediate class would be adding 2 more maneuvers at the end of the
program this up coming year. The immelman turn followed by a 45 deg
down line with a positive snap on center.</FONT></DIV>
