The problem is not so much with a current Masters pilot flying
the <br>
"new" schedule. The problem is with an Advanced pilot moving up
to <br>
Masters. I for one do not feel capable of flying ANY FAI schedule
<br>
(yet). And if I could, well then I'd just fly FAI and avoid the
<br>
crowd in Masters. :) Just something to think about.<br><br>

Well, I'll just put in my opinion on it since it affects me....<br><br>
Replacing the new masters pattern with P-09 probably wouldn't be
<br>
THAT big of a deal although I don't really like that schedule. Fact
<br>
is there's nothing in there a masters pilot would have any serious
<br>
problems with.<br><br>
The same cannot be said for P-11. The first manuever is a figure M
<br>
with an integrated half roll in the center, effectively placing the
<br>
plane in knife edge headed down and turning back upward. There are
<br>
a lot of planes still out there that won't turn the corner; it
<br>
takes a VERY good plane or a very good pilot to do it correctly.
<br>
I've been playing with it for 2 years myself. I made sure my plane
<br>
would do it happily, but the older V2 wouldn't do it happily...and
<br>
a plane from the Focus era? Have fun. As I said it can be done but
<br>
it's definitely not fun.<br><br>
And that's just one manuever. With the way FAI is going, lord only
<br>
knows what the future holds.<br><br>
On the same subject I have a feeling any "recreational"
FAI <br>
competitor might be flying masters come next year =)<br><br>

It has probably been mentioned before but I would recommend simply
<br>
using the existing-whatever is at that time- FAI P pattern for the
<br>
masters sequence and allow it to be replaced by the upcoming P
<br>
pattern every cycle. The pilots are plenty good enough and it
<br>
would really simplify things and put everyone on the same page.
I <br>
believe it would be exciting and fun.<br><br>

There has been some discussion on whether it is time to shorten the
<br>
length of the Masters sequence for 2011. A Poll has been set up on
<br>
RCU to get the current crop of Masters pilots and future Masters
<br>
pilots opinions.<br><br>
