[NSRCA-discussion] Masters sequence

[John Ferrell]

RE: Moving back to Advanced...
It puts the CD in an awkward position to ask to step down a class without 
following the rule book procedure.
Doing the paperwork and following the rule book procedure is not an issue. 
The rule is good for the sport.
I have a personal issue with a Pattern Flyer wanting to move all the way 
back to the Sportsman level so I decline to participate in assisting that 
move. BUT as a CD, declining to honor the Rule Book it out of the question.

Flying today's Masters Schedule is simply out of reach for some of us...

RE: Engine idle:
I cannot remember it ever being this hot in the Southeast before.

The idle problem may be due to heat build up. Recent parts replacements may 
not have run-in completely yet and may be generating a little extra heat. I 
would run it on a test stand before I got too involved with fixing anything.

After 10 years I am sure I can find a CD to sign off moving back to advance. 
I still have not even flown a pattern plane since deciding to return.
