It shouldn't be the primary consideration...that, of course, should be
to select the best team. BUT, If Team Selection can be done at the
nats it is a big plus for those who want to relax after their own
competition and observe the big guns in action. It is a GREAT ending to
the whole NATS experience...and is a real motivator to some.
Those guys are just awesome....

Please don't forget the "pattern fans". I just enjoy very much watching
the top pilots competing. Therefore, please consider the "pattern fans"
when you make the decision. I get only one shot every two years to go
to the Nats. and I could not attend a separate TS event. I feel that
NSRCA is taking the right decision for the "pattern fans" if the TS is
part of te Nats.

So who makes the decision? Is this made by the board? Just
wondering. Mike

Earl,
In the last printed format for the 2006 Nationals FAI class was
being run as follows. P-07 on Monday and Tuesday,Semi's on
Wednesday flying
F-07, and then Final's on Thursday with two F-07's and two
different
unknowns. To run a team trials this would have to be changed.
So I agree with Ron's concern about changing things, (someone
get Ron some
smelling salts quick!), just for FAI team selection needs. I
have seen a
lot of that over the years. A team trials has a marked effect
upon judge
selection and the payment of the extra judge! s who come in for
the FAI
selection component. It already has spilled over into the social
side of the
Nat's where our banquet is now on a Tuesday night so that FAI
unknown
schedules can be drawn up on the Wednesday night.
It also puts a lot onto the Nat's event director and invariably
the other
classes experience some neglect. I also wonder if it wise to
have the same
guy running the Nat's and the team trials, especially when the
some of the
top FAI pilots are sponsored directly of indirectly by the same
individual.
I would be much happier if the FAI team selection was not run by
the AMA
Nat's event director. I would also like to keep the Nat's for
the majority
who come for the participation.
Regards,
Eric.
