Proposed Masters Sequence for 2009/2010Derek
I like the Proposed sequence the best... I probably won't be flying it, but I will be judging it. I personally don't think having
the half cuban after the 8 point is that big of deal. It just forces the pilot to be in the proper position to execute that string of
three manuevers. As we all know, Positioning is everything... The down humpty and the inverted 4 point roll is a nice variation of revisited manuevers. Personally, I think the proposed sequence flows a little better than the "A" sequence.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Proposed Masters Sequence for 2009/2010
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.
Here is the sequence that was selected:
