Nope.... I just happen to like Maneuver 14 with the two 1/2 rolls on the bottom in stead of top :)

You are looking at the wrong sequence.  It is the one on the bottom.

Clearly there is a mistake in Maneuver #14 - should be Two loops with ½ 
rolls on the bottom J .  That is one of the prettiest FAI maneuvers 
I've ever seen done when the ½ rolls are stretched a bit on the bottom.

Thanks,

Jim W.

It might make the judging efforts between Masters (FAI judges) and FAI 
(Masters judges) more consistent if the 2nd maneuver (Stall turn 1 1/4 
up - 1 1/4 snap down) were changed slightly to be the same as P09 #9 
(Stall turn 3/4 up  - 1 1/4 down).

Over the past couple of months we (the NSRCA board) have received a 
number of comments about the Masters sequence that was selected in 
2005.  We heard that the sequence had too many snaps, turnaround 
maneuvers did not allow positioning of the plane (in or out) after the 
5th maneuver, and that the difficulty level from Advanced to Masters 
was further increased.  There was also an error in the schedule in that 
one would come out of the Double Immelman (#10) inverted and head into 
the Humpty Bump (pull-push-pull) and head into the ground based on the 
description.  The Masters schedule was published in the July 2005 issue 
of the K-Factor (Option A on page 25) - in order to correct the error, 
maneuver #9 was modifed to a 1/2 Square Loop with 1/2 Roll Down instead 
of the 1/2 Square Loop with 2/2 Pt Roll Down.

The board felt that the original Masters sequence committee should 
revisit the schedule to look it over and perhaps make modifications.  
The original committee was Troy Newman (chair), Ed Alt, Dave Lockhart, 
Joe Lachoswki, Arch Stafford and Bob Pastorello.  Bob dropped out since 
he no longer flies pattern.  Troy and the team started working on it 
but Troy couldn't devote 100% of his time to it due to the Nats 
approaching and his commitment to trying to make the US team.  Dave, 
Ed, Joe and Arch worked the sequence but decided that it would take too 
much modification to correct.  Instead they came up with a revised 
schedule that the board felt was a worthy replacement.  The board would 
like to submit this schedule to the Contest Board to be considered as a 
replacement for the original schedule.

What do we need from everyone?  We'd like to get your opinion on the 
sequence that was selected in 2005 and the new schedule that was 
created by the sequence committee to address the issues that were 
raised by a number of pilots.
