professional pilots willing to participate in local contests, as a CD, if
they don't support the local level contests, you just eliminate the class an
save some money. That should send a clear signal. I really don't think
making changes for getting more of the so called professionals

be a crash experience. Masters is a great success as it is. Leave

<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>

<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? LOL. </FONT></DIV>

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. </SPAN></P>

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

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

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

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

away. Each round two masters pilots judge and don't fly rotating
through the entire class. It seems like the time required would

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

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.
