<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Perhaps the energy expended on morphing Masters
into a USA version of FAI would be better utilized in growing the ranks of the
NSRCA. Besides, wouldn't the AMA have to bless an unknown finals at the Nats ??
Sounds like a vanilla version of artistic aerobatics which didn't seem to be
well received. We need to focus attention on things that need immediate
attention like the health of our sport, not the whims of a few in Masters. Since
we are in the "pie in the sky wish list mode", how about this. Golf uses
handicaps, certain forms of motor sports use handicaps, how about a handicap in
pattern ???</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And I don't disagree with you in that respect....
you may be correct. There are a LOT more Masters' pilots who won't be
finalists, ever, I guess. So go ahead, and change it to make it more
elitist, more exclusive, more discriminatory by design. Have a ball with
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> But - as others slightly more

people to press their agenda into the "regular" events.</FONT></DIV>

to add Unknowns to the NATS <STRONG>ONLY,</STRONG> then I sure have no beef

doesn't impact the contests that the MAJORITY of pattern fliers attend which

to the unknowns because I’ve never really been overly concerned with a
caller. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, I understand if I
haven’t flown a sequence that it the caller is VERY important, but I’m not

that. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>At the NATS I don’t think
it is a problem finding a “qualified” caller. <SPAN

<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I think if the caller attended
the announcement of the “unknowns” with the pilots on Wednesday night as
they do in FAI, then I don’t think it would be that big of a problem. <SPAN

morning to go over the sequence and kind of see how things flow. <SPAN

the sequence of the maneuvers that are in the pattern it would add to the
level of difficulty.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I think a
lot of pilots even in Masters now would have a problem flying the sequence
if you flew the same sequence but made them roll the opposite direction they
do naturally. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now, even flying
the SAME sequence some pilots who might win otherwise would have a major
problem winning the contest.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Now who is the better pilot, the pilot who flies the sequence well
rolling either direction, or the pilot that almost crashes his airplane
because of rolling the other direction? <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I will admit naturally I roll better
to the right than I do the left, but if I was in the finals of masters and
someone out flies me because he can roll either way, he is the better pilot,
and I think that is the overall goal is to determine the best pilot, not who
practices the most.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I think the
pilots who make the finals in Masters are competent enough to be able to fly
an unknown sequence and fly it well.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
