<DIV>I'd like to throw my 2 cents worth in here.... When
considering the transition from Advanced to Masters, I think you'll find that
it's not the manuevers per say, that cause most of the
problem. It's the pilot's positioning abilities.
As we progress through the classes, the two most important things we
learn are wings level and maintaining a line. Most manuevers are pretty
much the same, ie., push, pull, and roll. Of course, there's the ocassional
snap, and they are a manuever all their own. Also, as we progress
up through the ranks, more and more pressure is put on the pilot
by putting more manuevers in the schedule. You're on the hot seat
for a longer period of time. The manuevers chosen for the schedule
are put into an order using the diabolical scheme to make sure that if
you get out of position, you will not be able to execute the next
manuever. Take a look at the current P-07 schedule. Nothing really
strikes me as being horribly hard to do as far as each manuever is concerned.
But take into consideration what happens if you screw up and make one too
large or get off line. You're going to be out of position for the next
two manuevers, at least. You'd have to be pretty crafty to get by
without some serious downgrades. Don't get too hung up on the individual
manuevers. They are only one part of the game. Being able to make
everything flow together so it looks pretty, now that's the hard
part.... There has always been a pretty large jump between Advanced and
Masters, and it's the position of the manuevers in relation to each other
that makes it so much harder.</DIV>
<DIV>I'm out of change....</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. <BR>> <BR>> Comments? <BR>> <BR>>
