[SPAM] 2007 Advanced Patterns

The leap is not monumental. The fact is, there are  more manuevers(4) in 
Masters which make it look that way.

Terry, if the schedules are too easy for you, I challenge you to fly them in 
front of Dave Lockhart, Ed Alt and myself( alll on sequence committee) and 
score 8's or better on everything at Sayre.  You have a week to practice  
one or both if you choose.

The only thing that is going to get you to Masters is practice, practice, 
practice.
