comments below-<BR>I believe part of reason the current Intermediate
sequence has two rolls, and not three, is-<BR>Figuring two rolls are
challenge and training enough for most intermediate pilots -<BR>And two is
enough for judging- Particularly, if you see two going badly, not
many of us<BR>want to see a third.<BR><BR>Also below - having to move out
of Sportsman after first year because of beating 4 other pilots -<BR>That
is already fixed. The 2009 rule "..flier must move out of

know you’re joking some Bob, but I think you’re actually a great example
of someone that was able to fly a lot, and progressed nicely through the
system, but then when you got to Masters…a time when you really need to
practice even more to be competitive, your job suddenly changed,
home life became more complex, and you’re lucky to fly 10 practice flights
a year outside of contests. Your experience and skill would
allow you to be competitive in Advanced, without dominating and likely
have a lot more fun being a spoiler to that crowd, rather than trying to
fly masters without hardly even knowing the pattern.</SPAN></FONT><FONT

pretty interesting. From my perspective, I didn't really care who
beat me when I was in intermediate or advanced. I just knew that I was
seeing the skill level necessary to win. While it's nice to win a trophy
in the lower classes, I understood I wasn't competing against the best
pilots anyway. From what I've seen there is a huge variation of
talent within a class anyway. I've seen Masters pilots fly that
wouldn't win in advanced if they bumped back down (maybe not even in
intermediate). People move up for all kinds of reasons unrelated to
skill level. It's also interesting that we talk about using each
class to improve our flying until we get to Masters, then it appears
nobody wants to improve to FAI. </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN
