Vince,What changes did you propose to the FAI pattern for use in
masters? Naturally once we modify the FAI pattern for use in Masters,
it must become an "American Pattern" by definition as it will be in the
AMA book. The Australians do something similar for their Expert class.
And for those of you objecting to using the FAI maneuvers for Masters,
there is a striking resemblance between the current Masters pattern and
FAI P7.<br>
Also. adding another class to make up for the inability of top Masters
class pilots to move up is a terrible idea. Many parts of the country
struggle to get contest attendance over 15-17 contestants. The last
thing we need is to spread the lack of competition over another class.<br>

My tendancy is to want to adopt the FAI but make some revisions that
keep it in the realm of possibilities for all current pilots flying
masters as well as the current planes. There is some stuff in the FAI
that would cause a loss in participation if masters adopts it
absolutly. <br>

I'm with you on this one . . . There might have been a time when the
Masters and FAI schedules were interchangeable, but not anymore. For me
personally it is the rolling circles or loops that would knock me out.
I have enough trouble making straight rolls look good. <br>

Let me post a dissenting input. If the Master class pilots were
"plenty good enough" to fly the FAI P maneuver schedule, we'd be in
FAI. I have no desire to fly the FAI P or any other FAI sequence that
is selected by anyone else but pilots in the U.S. The Master class is
the U.S. destination class. Leave FAI and its maneuver schedules to
those who want to compete on the international level.<br>
<br>
Rant over.<br>

using the existing-whatever is at that time- FAI P pattern for the

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.<br>
