  Maneuvers that intimidate are often just unfamiliar. 

  I'm not joking when I say that two 1/2 rolls in opposite direction "had me" for several flights when we tried to video 402 back in 2000?

  More recently, trying an 8-point roll from inverted to inverted is tough. It's the difference between flying in response to "positional -recognition" and the learning to fly by repetitive process. Said another way, sight reading music vs. playing a practiced piece.

  This is why a schedule can seem hard at first and then gets easier as the rudder inputs become more familiar etc.
  I do have a much more heightened appreciation for the wonderful skills of top FAI pilots who fly unknowns at the drop of a hat, as if they were flying the knowns.

  Regards,

  Eric.

    Troy and the groups involved have a great deal of experience and understanding of the skill transitions involved.  Maybe I continue to have too much of an emotional (left brain) attachment to the current Advanced schedule, that has caused some myopic thinking when I first flew the new schedules. 
    In my case the learning process in Pattern has been slow. Six years from Basic to Advanced. Getting the basic wings level and rudder inputs to be automatic took a long time.
    I started to have doubts if I would ever make it to Masters or FAI. Addopting a more serious practice routine, when I came to Advanced helped a lot and I felt things really started coming together for me. I have startied practicing the Masters schedule, which has been a challenging but not an intimidating transition.

      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.
