I did the same thing. Now that I've scrolled down, the proposed revised 
schedule looks much better to me. The only concern I have is the 1/2 
cuban with 2/2 that follows the 8-point roll. The 8-point inherantly 
uses a lot of territory. Keeping anything that doesn't go immediately 
vertical after the 8-point in the box will be difficult at best. FAI 
P07 deals with that by having a stall turn maneuver follow the 8-point. 
I don't recall any FAI schedule in recent years that doesn't maximize 
the available box for an 8-point via the maneuvers on each end of it.
