Artistic Aerobatics and future thinking

[Adam Glatt]

I think Eric has a good idea by making the pattern more controlled by 
those who fly it.  Another way to accomplish this is to allow the pilot 
to become more involved.  Am I the only one who has noticed that some of 
the most frequently asked questions are about rule changes, proposals, 
and the time schedule of the whole thing?  As the SIG in AMA for 
precision aerobatics, it seems this should be a function of the 
nsrca.org website.  Not a big change, but if we think a degree of 
dynamism is going to make pattern more enjoyable (which I think it can 
without sacrificing its existing qualities), this seems a useful step.  
Maybe district websites could have monthly polls where pilots in the 
district vote for the upcoming contest's unknown maneuver (though a vote 
of hands at the pilots meeting should probably decide it).

How about an Unknown class at the Nats?  Open to anyone, fly two rounds, 
one pattern, a little easier than the World's unknowns to make it 
possible for many to fly (no three opposite rolls rolling circle), and 
fly it twice to make improvement important.  Sounds like more fun than 
AA to me.
