[NSRCA-discussion] Proposed Masters Sequence for 2009/2010

[J N Hiller]

Hay Del right on. I am one of those casual flyers and returned to pattern
competition to associate with folks having similar interests. I dropped out
about 10 years ago when we finally changed the masters schedule that was
adopted from FAI and flown for as I remember 7 years. Without help and
working full time here in snow country I was overwhelmed with the effort
needed to memorize the sequence (both directions) and learn new maneuvers. I
went back to scale competition.

And changes every 2 or 3 years are detrimental to the causal fliers who try
to participate. They won't come to contest and participate till they have a
chance to get familiar with the sequence. Some don't have coaches and chance
to fly more than once a week if weather cooperates.

Are you certain that you really can change the schedule without waiting out
the rules cycle?

The lower classes had to endure 6 years of the same schedule because the
Contest Board refused to act on anything other than emergency proposals in
the interim. Many of the Advanced flyers elected just to stand down.

You have just pointed to advantage the IMAC discipline has over Pattern with
AMA...

I hope you can pull it off because the existing conditions are detrimental
to the game.

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
