Intermediate Class

[Jeff Hughes]

Actually it was voted on and approved by the masses. Let's not pick at 
this scab again!

Intermediate????
>   Has anyone asked a Sportsman pilot lately to point his plane 
downward at a 45º down attitude, fly a straight line, DO A SNAP, fly 
more of a straight line, and then pull to level flight?
>   IMHO, if you are putting that maneuver in Intermediate, you will 
be scaring off many potential Intermediate flyers. I can only speak 
for myself, but, when I was at that level, you could not have even 
paid me to do that. I had trouble staying on the proper line doing a 
sequence of "Immelman....Outside loop....Split S" (which was in the 
sequence at that time).
>   I know that your decision on this does not affect what I will be 
flying, BUT,  it is something I believe in passionately. I have been a 
member of the Canadian Precision Aerobatics Committee for a few years 
and this type of scenario keeps coming up. I think that most of us 
making decisions on these matters have NOT flown in Intermediate for 
several years and we have forgotten what it was like to step up to 
that level.
>   PLEASE, go out, yourselves, and talk to Sportsman flyers about 
this......Maybe even see if they will try to fly the proposed sequence 
(or just this maneuver).
> 
>   Thanks to the supporters of this list for creating a media where 
someone (like me) can send out an opinion (like I just did) and none 
of you will be seeing me until next summer when you will have 
forgotten all about this ( I hope).......RUNNING FOR SHELTER.

BTW: Anybody know when the vote is to be?  I'm having one of  Ron's

positive snap on center.
