<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Glad that you recognized that not everyone has the
capability or ambition to be a Master or FAI pilot. For whatever
reason. I feel that fact doesn't make their membership in NSRCA
an less valuable, nor does it make them a second-class member. IMHO.
However, my feeling is that, if you want them to stick around, that they should
be given (granted?) the same consideration as all other classes. Not
venting, or ranting; just stating a belief.</FONT></DIV>

I think we currently do the same for the Masters pilots. They’re finals

agree with Earl that intermediate is in a big learning curve and coming to the
nats ,competing at that level, learning the ropes, taking it all in, seeing
all the other flyers, competing for 3 days,etc. should be more than enough for
these newcomers. </SPAN><SPAN

wonderfully are many young and new pilots that can celebrate at this

considerable thought and reflection, I would like to share my views of the
nats and the classes flown. I believe we have been very fortunate to
have an excellent group of volunteers that work and sacrifice to make the nats
happen. That group is led by the event director Dave Guerin, who has
worked tirelessly and unselfishly for years at this job. I believe he
has responded to our desires to make this the best national event
possible. With that in mind, there are some changes I believe we can
make that would be a win-win for everyone and reduce the workload as well.

<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">Masters is in a
real sense an endurance contest. How many times does someone have to fly
the same sequence to prove he is the best in that class. The present
system is 10 times! The only argument is the equal exposure issue-which
may have merit. The system I propose addresses that issue and
takes less time. I raised the number of finalists to 10 to close the
argument that someone is cutout of the finals because of unequal
exposure. Counting the prelim as one of the 4 scores is, in my opinion a
legitimate score to keep-having been earned over a period of 3 days under a
number of variables. Assuming incorrect scoring(bias, unequal exposure,
etc.), the competitor has 3 flights to erase that concern. Any 3 flights
count so the prelims score can be dropped. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">The argument for
doing 2 Finals pattern is that at the world event in the semifinals, there is
not equal exposure of the pilots and the pool is so large that conditions can
change substantially over the course of doing the semifinals. This
rationale wouldn’t apply at the nats. The semifinals at the nats is only
2 flights with 20 pilots, using the prelim score as a 1000 normalized
score. Therefore, the 2 F patterns can be combined to be a score carried
over into the finals event. The finals then becomes a single F pattern
and 2 unknowns. Count 3 of 4 scores. I would recommend doing
the F schedule first, then the 2 unknowns. I believe all the other
pilots would love to see FAI unknown finals flown by some of the best pilots
in the world. It would be a showcase event. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">I believe this is
a win-win for everyone. We would add finals to advanced; both the
Masters and FAI finals would be shortened; the best pilots would be showcased;
more pilots would be in the finals; fewer personnel to do the finals.
<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">There is no
perfect system. I am sure there will be objections of some kind, but I
believe this system has real merit and should be implemented.
