remember that, several years ago, I proposed that NSRCA be allowed to take the
maneuver schedules out of the rule book and change them when we wanted to, just
like IMAC can. The proposal was shot down by the AMA Executive
Council. It was never accepted to be voted on by the contest board.
I never got a satisfactory response on why they took that action. I have
my suspicions that IMAC pulled a fast one on AMA in getting their ability to
change schedules when they wanted and didn't want NSRCA to have the same
privilege. It would be interesting to see if the EC has changed its mind.</span></font><font

I’m not generally a proponent of changing the lower classes all the time (the
intent is that they not be destination classes...I also know the reality of
that so please, no hate mail) But I’m a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of being ABLE to
change them every year...i.e. Removing the patterns from the AMA rulebook and
allowing the Sig to post the schedules that will be in effect in a given year.<br>
<br>
I think you’ll find ALL of the contest board members would vote “Yea” for that
if they ever got the chance to...<br>
<br>
The advantages are so many I can’t even begin to list them.<br>

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
