<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I think the idea is that the destination class (if we changed to FAI-F3A)
will fly the F-Schedule also. I see very strong advantages from judging
point of view. Both classes Masters and FAI-F3A will know the P schedule
really well since both are flying the same maneuvers. I expect that the
judging level is going to be improved. Yes, the Masters pilots will
need to learn the F-Schedule. Finally, I think more professional
pilots will be willing to participate in local contests because we will have
more competition at the FAI-F3A level. I think if we do this could be
fun that is the general agreement.</DIV>

</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I never saw
anyone suggesting to do away with the Masters class.. I have thought of
another restriction/factor. Some of the FAI maneuvers require a specific
designed plane to do them well. If you don't have such an aircraft in your
stable you can be looking at a prohibitive change to switch to those type of
planes or live with the self imposed handicap. Granted, some of the best can
make a good showing in FAI type maneuvers but when needing the 1 point
advantage in a high K-Factor maneuver it does drive the contestants to
seek the best sled that works for them. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>A good friend pointed out something
I had lost sight of once. He acquired a newer designed airplane to his
stable that performed the maneuvers he was flying so much easier. The
design choice alone was raising his scores by almost 1 point per maneuver.
With only a little bit of practice with new plane. He never appreciated the
handicap he self imposed until having better equipment. Heck.. I still
have coreless servos and not a digital do I own.. How far behind am I?

Ive never advocated doing away with the Masters class. I only suggested
adopting the most current FAI P maneuver schedule and fly Masters as a
separate class as we do today. Masters pilots would not be required to
advance to the FAI class unless they chose to do so. Seems to me like it
solves several problems. It allows a CD to have more flexibility in
arranging flight lines, a larger pool of knowledgeable judges, eliminates
the need for NSRCA (or others) to come up with a new schedule periodically
for the Masters Class. I dont think there is any difference in the
difficulty level of the P schedule and the Masters schedule today and would
not require any greater skill level than Masters does today IMO.

not trying to imply that I have the correct answer to that
question. Not all people that advance through the AMA classes have the
desire or deep pockets to handle being competitive at the FAI level. Some
Master fliers in the past have told me the time commitment is high to be
competitive in FAI class. Higher than they can accept. That may be the
biggest reason. Not certain. </SPAN><SPAN

they do enjoy the difficulty and challenge of flying masters and if told
they had to move to FAI or if pointed out and made to move up to FAI some
would choose to leave. I see it as part of the dues some are willing to
commit to play. Some drop out after making it to intermediate. Others after
reaching advanced. Some have stayed and still fly those classes but real!
ize the y don't have the time, desire, money, to move up and be challenging
or at least make a decent showing they can accept for themselves. I believe
the competitive factor varies with us all and what we are willing to commit
to fly pattern. </SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

it would be acceptable to you to drive some away from pattern as it has

<P class=MsoNormal>I believe that FAI rules states that it is
required more than 2 days event to fly F schedule. I am sure
that someone out there is going to be able to find if I am correct or

<P class=MsoNormal>I agree that in Masters we should fly the

moving Masters to F3A. The rules should be changed
to make the F3A class the final destination of AMA
classes. In other worlds, Masters should not be the final
destination as it is now.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

good point Jason. The more that the F is flown and judged the better
we all get at it. I can fly Masters or the P with equal mediocrity but
the F always just scared me off. Maybe one of my goals for this
year will be to learn it. Now if everyone promises no laughing I might
try it.<BR> From comments I have hear a lot of guys just don't

with that is that we're finding that enough FAI guys don't want
to fly F... so why hold 2 FAI- P classes? I understand
getting to know 1 sequence is easier to judge, but the Masters
and FAI guys should be able to have a handle on the other class
without much work. Its probably just me, but if FAI were to fly
both P and F, then having "Masters" fly P might be a more Masters
class this way. Then again, I may be off in left field, or is this
right? And since now both the Team Trials and Worlds pick the winning
teams at the end of the contest (after F) it would make more sense to
start flying F locally so it's not a shock come Nats
time.</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN

Masters class fly the most current FAI P schedule as a separate

completely familiar with the maneuvers and Masters class can judge FAI
and be completely familiar with the schedule. Then the rules committee
does not have to come up with a new schedule periodically as it
changes every other year just like FAI. The schedules (P &
Masters) are so close in difficulty that flying the P schedule should
not be any problem for masters class flyers.</SPAN><SPAN

Really like the matrix system but not sure how much work that makes
for the scorer. Anyone have any thoughts on how to score
that<BR> One idea that was kicked around in D1 was fly an
extra round in Masters to generate an extra throw away. Each round two
masters pilots judge and don't fly rotating through the entire class.
It seems like the time required would work out the same because the
group had two less pilots but again lot of objectivity ( conscious and
unconscious ) required especially as the contest end grew near.

Judgeing by commitee?<BR><BR>Anthony,<BR><BR>I have to agree with Jim,
but for different reasons. We did this about 4 years back at our
district championships with the masters class. We had 17 pilots
in masters, and only one (me) in FAI, and another 6 or 7 in advanced.
So getting any judging at all would have required heavily using
the Intermediate and Sportsman classes to judge, OR, heavily burdening
the few Advanced guys...and sitting through 17 masters flights is a
looooong sentence.<BR><BR>So we did the peer judging scenario.
Given the options, it worked very well. But it requires
some serious juggling to even try and make it work well. We !
used pe e! r judgi ng for 4 of the 6 rounds. Two flight lines,
with a rolling panel of judges. 5 judges on each line, tossed
high and low by maneuver leaving 7 pilots not judging at any given
time. This allowed the person before and after each flight some
time to prep and decompress before having to jump in the chair for 5
flights and then start over on the second line.<BR><BR>Its a VERY
VERY VERY busy process, not to mention that unless you completely
randomly resort the flight line each round, the pilot will be judged
but the same group...or maybe more importantly NOT judged by the same
group each round.<BR><BR>It worked...but it was messy. I would
only do it again if we were presented with the same grossly offset
numbers of entries. <BR><BR>On a related note... A better
solution was tried a few years later when we had similar numbers (16
masters pilots)<BR><BR>We created 2 classes of masters...A and B.
we still used FAI and Advanced j! udges,! but we were also
able to sprinkle in B judges for A and vice versa. We did 4
rounds for each group. Took the top 4 from each group and
combined them and they flew the last 2 rounds as a Finalists group
(with the other 8 judging and flying in their own group for the bottom
8 spots.)<BR><BR> This was MUCH more workable, and I think netted
a fairer event in the long
run.<BR><BR>-Mark<BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>On 1/31/08 2:46 PM,

Anthony,<BR> <BR>**** Attempting a 50 words or less approach
without too much regard for political correctness *****<BR> <BR>I
dont think peer judging works. I dont think it sends the right
message about problem solving or achieving a more accurate score per
maneuver for each pilot. Psychology 101 would predict that
it does not foster the right mindset or circumstances for a
competitive environment (Reality TV shows like Survivor are based on
one form or another of peer judging). <BR> <BR>The #1
component that must be correct for it to work is that all pilot/judges
see and subtract about the exact same number of points per maneuver
see the same downgrades. The situation doesnt compute if one
judge is off from the others or uses impression judging. A bunch
of stuff should probably be in place for this to! work l ike: !
large n umber of judges, drop high score, drop low score, etc. The
highest caliber of honor, integrity, and judge-education is required
by all competitors to make this work. <BR> <BR>I witnessed
this as a Masters pilot watching the FAI contest. I watched the
flying and this scenario VERY close. My opinion is that I would chose
not to compete in FAI in a peer judging scenario.
