<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>John,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I think there is some confusion here. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I can't find any reference to three consecutive
rolls in the curent Master's schedule, however, there is a three roll opposite
in P-09. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>The maneuver currently being considered was in the
old Intermediate schedule and was three rolls performed consecutively, no
reversals, just keep it constantly rotating </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>until the completion of the third
element.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Most individuals used to set up their airframes so
that full aileron deflection would result in the airplane performing three rolls
in approximately five seconds. This roll rate was </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>slow enough to allow a normal human being to keep
up with the thought processes required to input the necessary corrections
required to result in the roll appearing axial.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>At this roll rate, an airplane traveling
approximately 60 mph used up somewhere in the neighborhood of 440 feet of
horizontal travel. The distance between the poles at</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>150 meters is around 1575 feet, so you can see that
this leaves about 567 feet before you even started the roll to get set up and a
similar recovery distance after roll</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>completion. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Now I realize that the rule book says that it may
be appropriate to fly a smaller model in closer ( I think it references 140-130
meters) so the distance shortens significantly</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>as you move in, but even at just 100 meters the
breathing room on each end is still over 300 feet, so it should be apparrent
that space is really not a limiting factor.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>With regards the three rolls opposite in P-09, it's
a totally different bag of worms. For me, it requires that I slow the rate down
even further because my old brain can't keep</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>up with all those reversing inputs, so for me, this
one uses quite a bit of the box.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Did you ever see anyone REALLY grease that
maneuver? I haven't. It ALWAYS looks rushed. And these are Masters pilots.
Big difference between them and Intermediate pilots. The only way it would
work is if both turnarounds (before and after the maneuver) were something
like a stall turn or a half square loop. Anything else would be tough for
an Intermediate pilot.</FONT></DIV>

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 color=black><SPAN

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.
