near as difficult as many make them out to be. A loop with a roll at the
top or 4 point at the top isn’t nearly as difficult to do well as say the
current figure M. Ones that are the bottom of a loop are a different
story, but there are integrated rolling maneuvers that could be added that
would help prepare people for FAI. Maybe this is something that sequence
committees should look at. I hate to use IMAC as a reference, but they
start doing 90 degree rolling stuff in their intermediate class to prepare
people for the upper classes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

anyone for anything. It isn’t much more difficult that the current
intermediate sequence and the jump from Advanced to masters is huge. I
understand Masters is a destination class and many people wont move on to FAI,
but I also don’t think we want this ridiculous jump between the two
patterns. After a while you are going to have such a large gap that you
are going to have a hard time finding people qualified to judge it. You
are going to have maneuvers that guys in masters may have never heard of.
The designs people are flying in Masters and the lower classes are mostly
driven by FAI. Maybe we should start taking advantage of some of the
benefits of these designs in the other classes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Is the integrated half roll horizontal at the bottom or at
knife edge at the bottom :)<br>
<br>
I am one that likes the length of the masters sequence. It can be
completed in about 7 minutes or so. The IMAC guys that I fly with are
always surprised that there are so many maneuvers as they fly two sequences per
round. Nice to see them impressed about something to do with
pattern. I wouldn't like to see it get any longer though. <br>
As far as using the FAI schedules. It sure would make judging much easier
for both groups of pilots. I find it difficult to judge FAI as I haven't
memorized their sequence. Only hitting 1 or 2 contests per year for the
last couple of years makes it difficult to judge them without a caller giving
me the maneuvers. Flying the same sequence would obviously make that
easier. <br>
The FAI sequence is more difficult with some integrated rollers but I think
that is something most masters pilots could learn.<br>

same cannot be said for P-11. The first manuever is a figure M with an
integrated half roll in the center, effectively placing the plane in knife edge
headed down and turning back upward. There are a lot of planes still out there
that won't turn the corner; it takes a VERY good plane or a very good pilot to
do it correctly. I've been playing with it for 2 years myself. I made sure my
plane would do it happily, but the older V2 wouldn't do it happily...and a
plane from the Focus era? Have fun. As I said it can be done but it's
definitely not fun.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

simply using the existing-whatever is at that time- FAI P pattern for the
masters sequence and allow it to be replaced by the upcoming P pattern every
cycle. The pilots are plenty good enough and it would really simplify
things and put everyone on the same page. I believe it would be exciting
and fun.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
