flexibility in class selection?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>how about changing the AMA advancemant rule and keep it very
simple? <BR>Your first contest of the year will determine your class for the
year. You may go up one class at any time during the year but may not go back
down during the year. At the start of the next year you may drop back one
class at your option, stay where you are or go up a class.<BR>This is simple
enough that your fellow competitiors will know if you are following the rules.
It will also be up to your fellow competitiors to insure that you are not
sandbagging.<BR>I also feel strongly that sandbagging in Masters should not be
allowed. If you disregard Sportsman, then half of the classes allow parking.
Obviously, F3A has to be a parking lot but I see no reason to allow this
behavior in Masters. As a competant advanced pilot of somewhat advanced years,
I have very little interest in moving to Masters in order to spend the rest of
my pattern years trying to break 900 against the parkers.<BR>I fail to see the
logic in having two destination classes. Shouldn't we all aspire to progress
to FAI? The current Masters schedule is designed as a stepping stone to
Masters. Let's use it that way.<BR><BR>John Gayer<BR>NSRCA 632<BR><BR><BR><A

<DIV>There was a proposal on the last rules cycle that would allow a person
to move up and test his ability then move back if he
had not attained the skills required for the higher class. I
personally think it is a good idea and I also see no need for the
point system like someone said if someone abuses the privilege we can
solicit Earl and four other guys his size to take him behind the barn and
splain to him why he will be moving up. I believe peer pressure is all
the control we need.</DIV>
<DIV>I think this is worth a try. </DIV>
<DIV>For those who have the ability and desire to achieve a spot at the
top I don't see that we have a problem.</DIV>
