<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the Broken Arrow contest a bunch of the
flyers got together and reviewed the new proposals. Dan Curtis flew
the Intermediate sequences (options A & B) and I (Lance) flew the
Advanced. Bill Ahrens was supposed to fly the Masters, but he was too
chicken to do it in the dark. Imagine that. Here are some
comments from the group for the Sportsman thru Advanced. For Masters,
we never had the chance to discuss as a group so those comments are purely
mine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First, let me say that the work put into these
is evident and exceptional. There isn't really a bad solution and both
options are good. Thanks to everyone involved. It's really a
situation where choosing means being very picky, so everyone involved should
be proud of the options they created. I can see
advantages/disadvantages to manuvers in these sequences, but will not use
this note to go to that detail. Just the factors that tipped the
balance.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sportsman:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Option A was the group choice only because B
has the vertical upline on center and many underpowered sportsman planes
can't do this. We already see plenty of trouble with stall turns and
in a stall turn you don't have to be able to push out, just
fall.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Intermediate:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Option B was the choice because the 2 outside
loops + Cuban 8 + double immelman made the sequence longer in time at
essentially the same Kfactor. B will move better at big contests and
introduces a shark's tooth, which we haven't seen in pattern maybe
ever.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Advanced:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Option B mostly because we need a cuban 8
before masters (it combines so many elements) and partly because the 2
outside loops in A, although excellent skill builders can kind of long to
watch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Masters 2007: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My choice: Option B because it looks way more
fun and has new stuff (8 point roll, figure M). Also, the 1 1/2
downline snap in A is sure to cause controversy AGAIN.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Masters 2009:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My choice: Option A. this is a hard one because
A continues the 8 pt roll, but it has lots of cool stuff. the 1 1/2
snap is in both A & B so that can't be differentiator. Option B
just seems more normal (except for the "spring coil" which I don't know what
it is). Overall option A has an interesting cuban and avalanche, and 8
sided loop, reversed spins, etc. It will look very
different.</FONT></DIV>
