<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

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> IF you're proposing with Eric
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
are LOCAL events.</FONT></DIV>

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

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

pilot is a line chief, however these are both useless to me at the NATS.
<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>
