[NSRCA-discussion] Moving Along, Next Question on Masters

[Keith Black]

My opinion, increase the difficulty and add inverted exits to Advanced as it was last year. This provides a very nice preparation for Masters. As to the jump between the old Intermediate and Advanced, yes I recall the pucker factor doing the first double Immelmann where I had the inverted to inverted roll on the bottom. I just did it real high until I got comfortable. It wasn't long until it was no longer a big deal.

  Morning Gentlemen

   

  After reading many responses and having some private chats with those I respect their opinions highly I've changed my mind on Masters having to move up. I no longer think so.

   

    This now creates a few new questions in my mind.

   

    1.. Are we to keep Masters at a level slightly less than FAI so we can keep those happy that are "Parked" there? 
   

    2.. Do we make Masters a proper (Building) stepping stone between  Advance and FAI? 
   

  Right now I believe the fellows that designed the Advance schedule did a wonderful job bridging the gap between Int and Advance.

  I think the jump from Advance to Masters is a bit big. Barring adding a classes between Masters/Advance, which I don't think anyone wants, how do we do both?

   

  If we "dumb down" Masters to make the jump from Advance to Masters flow better on the skills set required then we might very well bore those that have been in masters for awhile. If we don't do we relegate those moving up to Masters several years of practice to get competitive? Maybe this is the answer, make the jump so hard it takes awhile to learn the skill set, or it just could be a dropping out point fliers won't bother to try to go beyond. Yeah I know, "If it was easy even a cavemen could do it"  J

   

  Opinions?

   

  Pros/Cons
