Why is this rule necessary rather than make it at the discretion of the
CD? If F3A is not an AMA class and there is no mandatory advancement,
why not allow flying in both? Attendance is low enough at many local
contests that the extra entry fee would be appreciated by the
sponsoring club and the extra competition by the competitors in the two
classes.<br>

Like I said, if the pattern rules allow it, why not?? However, they
appear not to do so:<br>
<br>
8.2.5: There is no mandatory advancement into FAI from the Masters
class. Contestants may enter their current AMA class or the FAI class
at any contest but not both.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
And pattern does not differentiate classes based on aircraft type as
soaring does. Maybe it should. Perhaps we need a 50-sized glow powered
plane class. And then 0.90, 1.10, and 1.70 glow class, and an electric
class. Then maybe break that up into biplanes and monoplanes while we
are at it. Then get over 300 planes at an event irrespective of the
number of individual pilots and there you go!! 9 days or more for
pattern!!<br>
