Stuart,
Your description of the Pyramid loop still doesn't seem to make sense to me. Am I wrong?
I like the Avalanche.
I don't think you've incorporated some of the other changes and as such you still have too many, in my opinion, K5 maneuvers. The Six Sided loop as proposed should be a K5. I feel the 1 1/4 roll KE is a K5. As I mentioned earlier, you could change the Pyramid loop to all 1/2 rolls and make it a K4, it's in the Guide that way.
My suggestion, #3 should be a 1/2 Square Loop w/1/2rolls both legs. #4 should be Pyramid Loop starting from inverted, 1/2 rolls each leg, exit upright.
I would personally keep the 3 turn spin. I wouldn't go less then 2 with the spin. But you might consider making the Reverse Cuban 8 a regular Cuban 8 just to give more distance between the spin and the 8. That won't affect the entry in to the Stall Turn.
My suggested sequence. Maneuvers in Red are straight out of the Guide. I've given what I can find in the Guide as the closest example of a proposed new maneuver.
#1. Take-off (K1)
#2. Double Immelmann with half roll first, full roll second, inverted entry, exit upright (K4)
#3. Half square loop on corner with 1/2 rolls, exit inverted (K2)
#4. Pyramid Loop, inverted entry, 1/2 rolls each leg, exit upright. (K4)
Guide example - Triangular loop (base at bottom) with half rolls in all legs, exit inverted (K4)
#5. 1/2 Square Outside, 1 Snap down, exit inverted (K3)
#6. Six Sided Loop on Corner, 1/2 rolls legs 1, 3, 4, 6, exit inverted (K5)
Guide example - Six sided loop with 2/4 pt roll on top, inverted entry (K4)
#7. Humpty w/Options, exit inverted (K3)
Guide example - Humpty bump (push, push, push) half roll up, 2/2pt roll down, inverted entry (K3)
#8. two 4 of 8 rolls reversed, exit inverted (K5)
Guide example - 4/8 pt. roll, inverted entry (K4)
#9. Stall Turn, 2 1/2 rolls reversed up, 1/2 roll down, exit upright (K3)
Guide example - Stall Turn, 2/4pt roll up, half roll down, inverted entry (K2)
#10. Inverted Avalanche w/1/2 Roll in and out, exit upright (K4)
Guide example - Avalanche with 1-1/2 snap, inverted entry (from bottom) (K4)
#11. Same as proposed, exit upright (K3)
#12. Same as proposed, exit upright (K5)
Guide example - Knife edge flight (K4)
#13. Same as proposed, exit upright (K2) Might create an option that doesn't change position. Suggest 1 roll up, 1/2 roll down.
#14. Figure Z w/2 rolls on 45, exit upright (K4)
Guide example - Figure Z with 2/2pt roll up (K4)
#15. Three Turn Spin, exit inverted (K2)
Guide example - Two turn spin (K2)
#16. Cuban 8 w/full rolls, inverted entry and exit (K4)
#17. Stall Turn w/1/2 roll down, exit upright ( K2)
#18. Loop w/Integrated 1 Roll on Top 180, exit upright (K5)
#19. Landing (K1)
Total K - 62
This meets the Guide with a max of 4 K5 maneuvers and is within the K limit of 60 to 63. It does have only 9 of the 19 maneuvers currently in the Guide. Really 7 of 17 if you don't use the Take-off and Landing.

>> Much better sequence overall. I believe it is more in line with the intent of the sequence guide. It certainly makes the transition from advanced more doable. It also appears to be less power hungry.
>>
>> One comment. I, and several others, are not fans of end box spins. In heavy crosswinds, like the last NATS, the plane drifts as allowed without penalty FOR THAT MANEUVER, even if it goes out of box. However, unless the proposal to correct this passes the contest board, the following maneuver gets penalized for cross box or out of box before the maneuver actually starts. So the pilot gets a penalty in one maneuver for allowable drift in another. There is no guarantee the proposal will pass. In this sequence, a three turn spin allows even more drift than we have with 2.5 in the current sequence.
>>
>> I would argue that the entry and exit of a spin are what really count in judging. Therefore, if end box spins are kept, reducing it to one turn or 1.5 with a 1/2 roll out reduces the drift component considerably. 3 turns is just too many for end box.
>>
>> I'd also suggest that the top hat have a straight ahead option if the pilot does not need to correct in and out. I often wish the current sequence had the option.

Also changed a stall turn to ½ rolls reversed going up.

>> Tony thanks for looking at this with an open mind and critical eye. To be honest I wasn’t going to initially post this but was convinced to by a group of D 1 flyers at the contest yesterday. If for no other reason than to show that the committee did consider a more “conventional” sequence in addition to the one that was sent out.
>> And I did change a few things last night after spending the full day in the sun and I promise only 1 beer at dinner so I may have messed up a thing or 2.
>>
>> Can this be the basis of the recommended sequence? As I understand the process the committee sends the proposals to the BOD. They review and in this case have asked for membership feedback and then make their recommendations to the committee. If the BOD decides that sequence 1 is too difficult and this one meets the goals of the NSRCA better then they can ask us to tweak this one instead. Did I send this out at the request of the entire sequence committee? No I did not.
>>
>> #4 From top of the box push 3/8 loop to a 45 2 of 4 push back to level inverted flight full roll across the bottom push back 3/8 loop to a 45 degree up line towards top center of the box 2 of 4 and push 3/8 loop back to horizontal (upright)
>> Can easily make a case to be a K5 😊
>>
>> #6 correct ½ rolls only I will have to review current maneuvers for the K factor. Pretty late right now but I wanted to provide a response as best I could.
>>
>> #12 comes from P19 and that is the k factor they gave it so that is what we were using right or wrong we have to start somewhere.
>>
>> Double key only reason it is in here is it is in P19 and as I stated I sort of like having a few of the same maneuvers as FAI (not the clown dance) I need to try to fly it to see if it really a good maneuver or not but it is certainly an easy place to swap to a K4.
>>
>> Roll reversal: The knife edge flight you have to roll the other way after knife edge to come out upright. But one can be put in the stall turns as well or somewhere else if we think another one needs to be included.
>>
>> Snaps. You are correct I misplaced one trying to simplify the pattern a little. Maybe after the 1 1/4 roll in the middle of the knife edge flight 😊
>> I will look at the sequence and get one back in there.

>> Stuart,
>>
>> #4. The description doesn't seem to make sense. Isn't it an upright entry, PUSH to 45, 2 of 4 roll, PULL to level flight, Full roll from upright to upright, PULL to 45, 2 of 4 roll, push to exit upright? Or am I missing something? Also, it seems to be pushing being a K4. Here are the two closest examples in the Guide.
>>
>> Triangular loop (base at bottom) with half rolls in all legs, exit inverted (K4)
>>
>> Triangular loop from top (base at bottom) w/ half rolls on 45 degree legs, 2/4-pt roll on
>> base leg (K5)
>>
>> It would seem that the maneuver proposed should be a K5. You might want to go with 1/2 rolls on all legs and redo a few things to get the upright/inverted thing going again.
>>
>> #6. I had to actually draw this one out to visualize it. Just so I'm sure, you enter inverted and at center push to a 30 degree angle? I like the maneuver but I think it's really a K5 not a 4. The Guide has no 6-sided loop on corner, but a standard 6-sided with just a 2 of 4 on top is a K4.
>>
>> #12. I still feel that a very good case can be made that this maneuver is a K5, not a K4.
>>
>> Both snaps are in turnaround maneuvers. You need a center snap. Guide says: Minimum of two Snap Rolls but no more than three (one may be a turnaround maneuver).
>>
>> The only roll reversal is in the 4/8 opposite. You might want to incorporate another in one of the looping maneuvers. Maybe in the Figure Z. Maybe a 3 of 4 with a reverse 3 of 4. Or something less. Maybe just reverse the 2 rolls. But that might bump it to a K5 also.
>>
>> You have to address the snap issue and in my opinion you have too many K5 maneuvers. Maximum according to the Guide is 4. I think this has to be addressed. I would dump the Double Key and use a K4 from the Guide in it's place as a start.
>>
>> Otherwise to me it looks like a better pattern to work with then the current proposal.
>>
>> Is there any chance that what is worked out here might actually make it in as an official proposal?
