<DIV>Ed, one year Troy made this suggestion at Pawnee Rock KS. It was a good time no pressure deal on Sunday. Basically everyone picked a maneuver from the pattern they were flying, then with some suggestions from Troy we had something that flowed and with about 15 maneuvers. Took about 15 minutes to get a pattern that worked. Nothing was real tough and the sportsman pilots participated as well with an experienced pilot/caller....ie Troy helping out.</DIV>

<DIV>Hey everyone. Great Nats(my first) After seeing the format for the FAI finals, am curious as to everyone's opinion on the inclusion of Unknowns for AMA. My flying buddy and I differ on opinion. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I really enjoyed this part of IMAC when flying that discipline. It is difficult and requires an amount of skill and patience as well as ability to recover from a goof.</DIV>

<DIV>In Lubbock next weekend I am contemplating flying a voluntary Unknown sequence on Sunday(as scores are being tallied) Lots of questions variable but may just see if there is any interest or not.</DIV>

<DIV>Personally I am for them, although not the mandatory score where a flame out takes your trophy away. The work required to set up an acceptable set of manuevers and the associated K's would be a handfull, but not impossible. Having the pilots choose is an interesting way to decide but don't know if this is feasible for local contests??</DIV>
