[NSRCA-discussion] Nats Schedule Clarification

[Atwood, Mark]

Keep in mind that a masters flight takes several minutes longer than an FAI flight.  An extra 2-3 min per flight is another hour to 2 hours, and 8 extra guys is another 80 min.  It adds up fast. 

Doesn't leave much room for error. 

I'd be good either way. I'm not sure there's an advantage, its just nice to know what to expect.

There is 38 Masters and 30 Fai. Not sure where the thinking changes from previous years. Wasn't it about the same two years ago when Masters flew in the am?

Yes.  Take it up with Dave Guerin.  I understand his logic.  The  
Master class is the biggest class.  If it is flown in the morning,  
flying can (and has) run into the afternoon, disrupting the afternoon  
schedule.  If it's flown in the afternoon, flying can continue as  
long as there's light and no other competitions are affected.
