<DIV><SPAN class=340370703-15012005>Yeah, I guess staying in the box is a
little bit difficult for some. When teaching the average "sport flyer" I
see the biggest problem with the Immelman / full roll / split 'S' sequence. It
can actually happen pretty fast - a lot of guys forget about the roll or get way
out of shape when entering the split 'S'. The old A (Novice?) sequence brings
back fond memories for me. I learned it when I was 15 flying a Sig Kougar. The 3
rolls were a little bit scary until I got the elevator timing down. Other than
that it wasn't too bad. If only I had kept on flying pattern, I would have been
in a lot better shape today...</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Hi</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Found the old A pattern, the equivalent of Sportsman.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Takeoff</DIV>
<DIV>Straight Flight out</DIV>
<DIV>Procedure Turn</DIV>
<DIV>Straight Flight In</DIV>
<DIV>Figure Eight (Horizontal)</DIV>
<DIV>Three Rolls</DIV>
<DIV>Immelman Turn</DIV>
<DIV>Stall Turn</DIV>
<DIV>Traffic Pattern Approach</DIV>
<DIV>Landing Perfection</DIV>
<DIV>Spot Landing</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As we can see this is much less demanding that the current
Sportsman but at the same time gave a beginner confidence that he
wouldn't smash his airplane or make too big a fool out of himself, it really
wasn't a whole lot more complex than a fun fly event. However, I
think given the state of the art today, the Sportsman as it is
now is not too demanding, except the fact that you have to stay in the
box. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I really like the Sportsman you came up with and honestly believe that it
would bring more pilots into the fray. You don't want it too easy but at
the same time you don't want airplane breakers either. The way it is
setup today the maneuvers are a little easier than the ones you propose but
the pilot may feel rushed to stay in the box. This leads to botched
maneuvers and maybe an out of control plane. Remember I am talking about
entry level here. Personnaly I would rather be challenged by tougher
maneuvers than being rushed to stay in the box and risking a rushed maneuver
and blowing it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good thinking, thanks.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></BODY></HTML>
