<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 perceptive than I *know* - what happens at the NATS can sometimes be
used by people to press their agenda into the "regular" events.</FONT></DIV>
<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 with that, as I likely would never, ever, have to be concerned about

attend which are LOCAL events.</FONT></DIV>

partial 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 someone who has to hear the maneuver 2/3 of the way
through or anything like that. <SPAN

problem finding a “qualified” caller. <SPAN

the NATS (actually that’s incorrect, my father is a site director and
another 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 style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have all evening
plus the next morning to go over the sequence and kind of see how things
flow. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Even if it was as
simple as changing 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

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>
