place to hang out and fly. It is a diverse group of fliers ranging from
the FAI capable to those that have moved up too soon. You are usually
being judged by FAI fliers. Each district has their particular Masters
pilots that are clearly capable of flying FAI but have chosen not to deal with
“full-point” deductions, slightly more difficult P0X sequences, and the threat
of flying F0X at a local contest or at the Nats. Until a rule change is
made this is their decision on what class to fly. Others fly Masters as
a strategic decision or to prove a point. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P>

there are no sandbaggers in Masters – as Doug put it, is Masters a destination
class or not? There are very few people in Masters that could even be
considered sandbaggers. However think about this – some guys have jobs
and lifestyle that allows them to fly any day of the week they want at their
leisure – nice right? Some folks need to drive significant mileage to
practice and can only fly generally once a week. I’ve been both guys –
in 2002/2003 I flew a bunch off the lakebed and at the Tailwinds – sometimes
twice a day </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Wingdings color=navy size=2><SPAN

Masters pilots who are completely FAI capable (… doesn’t matter if they would
land in the middle of the class, lower, or the top), I’m sure all recognize
that other competitors wonder why they haven’t moved up. That is up to
them to detail because there is no rule in place which motivates them to move
up. I see it both ways. Masters is a destination class by default
for many simply because the complexity of maneuvers, where as it is a
destination class for several because they chose it to be. Recognizing
all comments put forth on the list so far, I would not oppose a rule that said
something like: 1. Each District Champion (any class) must move up
a class for 1 year (trial). If they are successful and have fun –
great! If not, move back down – no problem or consequence.

you will be humbled – and you WILL LEARN to fly all the fundamental elements
BETTER (no ½ points). However, this is EXACTLY what you should be
learning anyways – FAI just has a way of burning it in a little more. I
say to those highly capable Masters pilots – make the jump and try it
out! Flying two sequences is a GIFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man – it is
nothing but a pure GIFT!!!!!!!!!!!! Getting to fly two sequences will
liven up the practice scenarios like maybe you have never experienced
before! Give it a shot! Take a weekend and try to learn a rolling
circle – I bet FOR SURE you’ll get some nailed (… its just a bad slow roll
right?) – maybe you can do them better than you thought. The deal with
learning 2 sequences is that while practicing both is good, you need to deal
with individual maneuvers early on and learn your plane better overall, rather
just during the particular maneuver of one sequence. Give it
shot!<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P>

the individual who reaches the top of the Masters to decide if he WANTS to
make the next step. If I were at that level, I may hold out for a National
Champion ship too. It would be interesting to know just how many of the
current FAI pilots, at the NATS, had not won the Masters at some point. My
