team trials<br>
<br>
Earl,<br>
In the last printed format for the 2006 Nationals FAI class was<br>
being run as follows. P-07 on Monday and Tuesday,Semi's on Wednesday flying<br>
F-07, and then Final's on Thursday with two F-07's and two different<br>
unknowns. To run a team trials this would have to be changed.<br>
<br>
So I agree with Ron's concern about changing things, (someone get Ron some<br>
smelling salts quick!), just for FAI team selection needs. I have seen a<br>
lot of that over the years. A team trials has a marked effect upon judge<br>
selection and the payment of the extra judge! s who come in for the FAI<br>
selection component. It already has spilled over into the social side of the<br>
Nat's where our banquet is now on a Tuesday night so that FAI unknown<br>
schedules can be drawn up on the Wednesday night.<br>
<br>
It also puts a lot onto the Nat's event director and invariably the other<br>
classes experience some neglect. I also wonder if it wise to have the same<br>
guy running the Nat's and the team trials, especially when the some of the<br>
top FAI pilots are sponsored directly of indirectly by the same individual.<br>
<br>
I would be much happier if the FAI team selection was not run by the AMA<br>
Nat's event director. I would also like to keep the Nat's for the majority<br>
who come for the participation.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Eric.<br>
