<DIV><FONT size=2>John,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>there seems to be a tone to the current political climate.
NSRCA management determined they know better than the membership who voted for
something. And then there is the other issues regarding the NSRCA's high road,
holy above all sanctioning activities.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Obviously history is written by the winners. Its too bad
that NSRCA just decides what it wants to do and does it. I thought it used to
be a democratic society. A vote of the membership meant this was direction the
Board should take. Apparently when you don't like the vote you just take
another one. After all this is what the dems tried to do in
Florida.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Wasn't the idea of filling out a survey with 2007 and 2009
masters sequences on it the idea to jump ahead of the cycle and get it done
way before hand. Yet it seems the NSRCA management has undermined the work of
a few in order to write history in favor of another few who complain loudly
enough. Funny how the majority of people writing the new sequence are all from
the same area of the country. This is fair and balanced.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I think you are right John. Pattern in the NSRCA has reached
critical mass why would anyone want to come play with us. Having known
people involved and in this case Troy, I doubt seriously he stopped working on
this do to not having 100% of his time available for the re-write. I bet the
real story will come out someday. Some people have morals and ethics and
others well they write the history books.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Apparently the work done last time once praised as good is
now old news and the powers that be need to make a new legacy for
themselves.</FONT></DIV>

the past couple of months we (the NSRCA board) have received a
number of comments about the Masters sequence that was selected
in 2005. We heard that the sequence had too many snaps,
turnaround maneuvers did not allow positioning of the plane (in
or out) after the 5th maneuver, and that the difficulty level
from Advanced to Masters was further increased. There was
also an error in the schedule in that one would come out of the
Double Immelman (#10) inverted and head into the Humpty Bump
(pull-push-pull) and head into the ground based on the description.
The Masters schedule was published in the July 2005 issue
of the K-Factor (Option A on page 25) - in </FONT><FONT
