<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The thread on advancement path through FAI has been
very interesting, however, when I started the thread the intent was to discuss
which of the two proposed 2009 Masters sequences we should fly in 2009.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Therefore, I'm going to try again with a more
focused topic. As a reminder I'll past my pertinent comments below:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A while back Derek asked the membership if they
wanted to stick with the 2009 Masters sequence that was proposed in 2005 or
change to a newly designed sequence that addresses concerns some people had
regarding the sequence. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My first observation is that six of the eleven
centered maneuvers are the same so much of the content of the patterns are
identical. My second observation is that each sequence has maneuvers I think
would be more "fun" or "challenging" than the other. I'd say there
are three maneuvers in the 2005 proposed sequence that I'd miss if we went
with the newly proposed schedule and six maneuvers in the new schedule that I'd
miss if we went with the original 2005 proposed schedule. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will have no complaints flying either schedule,
but i</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>f I were to choose between the two I'd
select the newly proposed schedule; not to placate those that object to the 2005
proposed schedule because I feel there's nothing wrong with it; but because I
think the newly proposed schedule is more interesting.</FONT></DIV>
