<div> I guess it's 6 of one, and 1/2 a dozen of the other... I say let him fly and go back. I admit, I flew 3 flights before my first contest this year in Temple, in advanced, and it did me NO good whatsoever. I came in dead last!!!</div>

<div> I'm sure there will be some practice before the big show. And if you practice intermediate for the NATS, Why go back? Sportsman is an introductory class, to compete on a local level. Are points earned? Do you HAVE to move up eventually?<SPAN style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN> Just thinking out loud.</div>

<div><SPAN style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN> O.K. Sportsman is not offered at the NATS. Plain and simple. After participating in Intermediate at the NATS, would you not have an advantage over Sportsman fliers at a local contest? I don't have a problem with it. Some may. By the way, Muncie is the finest facility I've ever seen. We've spent much time, money and effort developing this magnificent headquarters. It's where the NATS belongs.</div>
