<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I had no intention of suggesting that we fly unknowns.
This is too much to <BR>expect a CD to deal with. The F-schedule is pre-known
and can be pre-stored <BR>in the PASS system.<BR><BR>It just struck me that we
have effectively reduced FAI from flying two <BR>schedules down to one.
(Unless you make a finals in the USA Nat's etc.)<BR><BR>I don't see why we
can't just decide to run a two-day contest with P-07 on <BR>Saturday and F-07
on Sunday? Maybe it is time to take some control of our
<BR>destiny.<BR><BR>It is my considered opinion that flying Masters is as good
as flying P-07 <BR>and there is not much differentiation between the two
classes, especially if <BR>you only fly one schedule each.<BR><BR>Some have
said that they found next year's Masters actually harder than the <BR>FAI
schedule. I can go out and try the F-schedule but will neither myself <BR>nor
most of us will ever get a chance to fly it in a
contest.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Eric.<BR><BR><BR>----- Original Message -----
