<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Listen to what Troy and Dave are saying. I
just moved up from advance to the Masters class and I find myself disagreeing
with you. The current advanced class is good and the proposed as good or
better. I didn't find that exiting inverted helped make me any
more prepared for masters. My BIGGEST adjustment coming up through
the classes was learning to use the rudder effectively and without the
correction being seen and throttle control. One other very important
item that has not been mentioned here is discovering how to trim your
airplane for the schedule you are flying. After I started flying
the Masters pattern for awhile I soon discovered that my plane wasn't
flying the schedule to my expectation. Thinking I was all thumbs( I
use a tray and fly fingers too) at the sticks I discovered little subtle things
in the trim setup that made my plane perform better for the masters
schedule,i.e. balance,throws, throttle curve,etc. You can fly
sportsman,intermediate and even advanced with a slightly nose heavy plane but
not so well in masters. So what I am saying is there is more to it then
flying upside down. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I am in the same position as you John and concur with your analysis of
the 2007 Advanced schedule. If the purpose of the Advanced schedule is to
prepare you for Masters, then the difficulty level is too low. The other 2007
option for the Advanced schedule, was a better transition to Masters but was
voted down. If the only other option is to stay with the current
schedule, then at least the difficulty level is more appropriate with an
Advanced schedule preparing you for Masters Class. Joe

Original message -------------- <BR>From: jonlowe@aol.com <BR><BR>> I've
been looking at the 2007 advanced schedule, since it looks as <BR>>
though I will move up from Intermediate next year. One thing that <BR>>
struck me is that the new Advanced schedule has NO inverted exits in
<BR>> it, down from 4 or 5 in the existing schedule. As it stands, if the
<BR>> new schedule passes the contest board vote in June, the new
<BR>> Intermediate schedule will have one inverted exit, Advanced none,
and <BR>> Masters eight, if I counted right. I'm not sure the degree of
<BR>> difficulty change between the schedules is what was contemplated.
<BR>> <BR>> It may be that with the different options presented for
the NSRCA <BR>> survey, that we ended up with a harder intermediate
pattern, an easier <BR>> advanced, and a harder Masters, I'm not sure.
But n! ow the change from <BR>> Advanced to Masters will be huge, while
the difference between <BR>> Intermediate and Advanced is not so big
anymore. <BR>> <BR>> It appears that the only thing that could be done
now would be to <BR>> encourage the contest board to vote down the new
Advanced schedule <BR>> since it is too late to update the proposal, if
others feel the same <BR>> way I do. If it is voted down, then the old
Advanced schedule would <BR>> remain in place, as I understand it. Each
new schedule is a separate <BR>> proposal, so they are voted upon
separately. The current Advanced <BR>> schedule would appear to be a good
transition from the new intermediate <BR>> schedule, and would be hard
enough that the new Masters schedule <BR>> wouldn't be so intimidating.
