Snap Rolls.....are they legitimate/ RE: displacement during snap rolls discussion

Bob:

The question has been asked before in previous NSRCA surveys.  It was actually asked if Masters was an ending, parallel class to FAI.  The answer was "yes".  It was then decided that whatever pattern was used in Master's class, all the others should be building blocks to allow you to progress to Master's/FAI class.  

The Master's pilots felt that they could and should fly just as difficult a pattern as FAI, so similar maneuvers should be included.

That's how we got to having snaps in the current schedules.

    Dave, as always, thoughtful input....thanks!
        I, for one, (and perhaps the ONLY one) would like to know pure and simple from the majority of folks playing AMA pattern....a yes or a no to this question...

        "Should the progression of classes within AMA precision aerobatics be designed to prepare a person for the FAI class?"

    I would like to have this question put to all pattern fliers, and let the answer shape the design of our sequences.  Period.
        (I know this is a good example of " be careful what you ask for ", but has it ever been asked??)

    The "natural"progression of AMA pattern should be the advancement of the begining pattern fliers abilities from very basic to the most extreme. We have a progression in the classes we have set up now that works pretty well. IMHO the name of the "Top" class isn't important.
