that you see posting on this list have helped me considerably and until
recently supported me being in sportsman to learn the geometry, presentation

</SPAN>Pattern is much more than just flying one maneuver at a <SPAN

score well.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you “won” the met
because you were the most experienced flyer in the group as I was then I
suggest you stick down a couple of events and learn from your fellow flyers in
the higher classes but if you have mastered the pattern where you know how to
setup 2-3 maneuvers in advance and how to present a maneuver for the judges
then by all means, challenge yourself more and move
along.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I am trying to figure out what
class I should be flying in ( sportsman or intermidiate ). I reciently
flew at my first pattern meet ( Waterbourough ME ). I placed first in
sportsman class. That is the only meet that I will be able to attend for
the rest of this season. I have only flown the 401 class 1/2 a dozen
times, including the meet. I have been told that if you place at an
event and beat 3 or 4 people that you have to move up in to the next class (
intermidiate ). My question is this. I did place first but I think
that it may be a little bit premature for me to move up into the intermidiate
class. Given the amount of time that I have been flying this pattern, should I
compete next year in sportsman. I don't want to brake any rules, so I am
looking for feedback to help me determine if I need to move up. I have
heard mixed feeling concerning this at my local club. There are a few
other members that fly pattern there. I want to know if what their
opinion is shared by other flyers. Any feedback on this would be
apreciated. Thank you in advance for your
responce.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
