<DIV>Buddy the biggest reason that they do finals in masters and FAI, is that they don't fly in front of the same judges <FONT color=#000000>unlike the Intermediate and advanced then you have the problem of finding more judges also according to the number of pilots you use in both classes, if you use 8 pilots and single flight lines and 3 rounds it wouldn't be over and all others would, if they use 2 flight lines then more judges just don't seem practical to me.</FONT>
<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" color=#000000> No I don't fly advanced anymore for many reasons #1 because I feel like I have a short time to get as good as I can be at age 56, the last 3 years I have practiced the FAI pattern in the fall and feel I have learned much more than staying flying advanced, so now I only flying FAI not good at it but I learn something every time I fly, #2 I like the pattern changing every 2 years #3 not everyone and there brother have a say in what FAI do (less problems and headaches) #4 I never could get score down at the site 4 and from what I could see I was one of a few that was tring to emulate the FAI and Masters pilots, I proved this last year last day, by just doing fast rolls no finess at all just fast and stop my scores went up by 100 raw points I was told all years on site 4 that I was the only one that really ever showed good throttle management</FONT> <FONT color=#000000>but still no scores #5 if I'm going to be last I'd rather be last in FAI than last in advanced.</FONT></DIV></DIV>
