color:#1F497D'>I think it’s the same thing.  Advanced you’re learning how to
roll smoothly with rudder (among other things) and by the END of advanced, if
you’re smart, you’ve spent a little time testing the Masters pattern and have
played with rolling in both directions.  Mastering that will occur in masters
though.  What’s the point of moving up if you’ve already mastered the skill in
the previous level??  I guess it’s me, but it seems the whole idea of moving up
“I’m done with this level, time to learn something new”…  There’s a difference
between building blocks and just pushing all the maneuvers down a level.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

prevents you from crashing when you try the next level.  It should still be
hard…just not a complete pucker factor.  <o:p></o:p></span></p>

guidlines address the questions of what minimum requirements must a pilot meet

pilot be able to roll relatively well in both directions before
advancing.&nbsp; I say yes others may say no.&nbsp; I know many of the lower

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>When I suggested that
intermediate and advanced be more difficult what I was suggesting was that we
need to build up more gradually.&nbsp; For an example, I believe two horizontal
rolls done using rudder and elevator is more difficult than one slow roll or
one 4 pt roll.&nbsp; I learned to roll using rubber and elevator by starting
with a 4 pt roll.&nbsp; I've heard others doing the same.&nbsp; I agree that
this can be taken to extremes.&nbsp; For example, I've heard folks suggest that
intermediate add 3 rolls.&nbsp; I believe this will cause pilots to drop the
rudder and only use elevator which I believe is detrimental later on (all rolls
should include rudder and elevator).&nbsp; Maybe move the 4 pt roll and the
slow roll down to intermediate and add some more complicated rolling maneuvers
such as 2 half rolls reversed inverted to inverted or 2 half rolls reversed
knife edged to knife edge.&nbsp;&nbsp; These or similar changes would close the
gap between the various classes.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

  <p class=MsoNormal>Having the turnarounds AND box exits in Sportsman is a
  good thing,&nbsp;I think. As long as the turnarounds are not cross-box
  maneuvers (like a Humpty) then I don't think it's asking too much of a
  Sportsman pilot to try to keep things in the box until they get a break (box
  exit). This is very good at preparing them for Intermediate (NO box exits) as
  Pete said, yet it gives them some way to correct their lines.What tends to
  happen to ALL of us is this: One little error moves your line. Then another
  moves your line some more. Until you've learned how to correct your lines
  smoothly and / or simply not make those errors in the first place (or at
  least make them to a lesser degree) the errors accumulate and without box
  exits, you only have cross-box maneuvers to help you correct them. Sportsman
  doesn't have any cross-box maneuvers so how would they correct their line?
  With box exits of course. <o:p></o:p></p>

  <p class=MsoNormal>As a few people have said - and I say this all the time:
  the sequence you fly contains the maneuvers which you are <em>judged</em> on.
  This doesn't mean that you can't fly different maneuvers and / or sequences
  when you practice. Do you guys just go to the field and fly <em>your</em>
  sequence over and over <em>every</em> time? If so then&nbsp;I think you're
  missing out on something very important. The difficulty between Masters and
  Sportsman is (and should be) somewhat extreme. Yet there are only 4 classes
  that must deal with this range of skills. It's nearly impossible to&nbsp;
  make each progression seamless. You <em>must </em>learn at least some new
  skills on your own. You can't expect that by repeatedly flying Advanced,
  you'll somehow magically be prepared to fly Masters when you point out. Trust
  me, you won't. VBG<o:p></o:p></p>

  ago&nbsp;and then stopped flying to help raise my son until this year when I
  got to fly again in Intermediate. My flights were ugly but at least I had an
