Sequence Poll Results

[Pattrnflyr at aol.com]

When the new sequences were proposed, my DVP was Troy Newman, he flew at my 
field.  He brought all the proposals out and the guys in the affected classes 
flew them.  This was great as then we had a real long time to evaluate and 
decide which way to vote.

As a long time Intermediate Class flyer, I was glad to have a new sequence.  
Then I was told by an Old Timer from the AMA contest board that I wasn't good 
enough to fly the new sequences.  This from an FAI guy that sent the judges 
running for cover in each round he flew!  I am very happy with the new (old) 
turnaround Intermediate sequence and I have not seen Intermediate pilots burying 
airplanes right and left as was predicted.  I saw more scary stuff from the 
three loops, three rolls days of Intermediate.  Hell, even Dave Lockhart 
admitted to doing rolling circles while attempting three rolls in his early days.  Of 
course, he was only about 10 years old! LOL.  I almost didn't stay an NSRCA 
member after the guys above me who new better said I couldn't fly the new 
sequence, gee I could after all.  I was damn mad.

Maybe we don't need to change all the sequences every three years, but it 
sure would be nice!  So as far as developing sequences, we need to get on the 
ball.  It was great for TN to give us the proposals and let us fly them and vote 
with our sticks as it were.  So as I understand it, for what TN did, we would 
need to be test flying around the country this year to get anything in the 
next cycle.

I have supported NSRCA for many years, but as an Intermediate flyer, well, 
what has it done for me lately?  I do understand that the AMA has stuck a few 
wrenches in the works.

Flame suit on!
