for a slow roll in advanced as it helps you learn the rudder. You most likely
aren't going to learn to roll comfortably with rudder in intermediate without
being forced to learn it. I didn't use rudder till advanced, as that's when I
was forced to learn it. <br>
<br>
IMO, sportsman is the entry class. Exit the box. That's fine. Could help with
the nerves. Intermediate should start to learn rudder, and rudder corrections.
Not master them, but start to learn them. A 4 point could help with this.
Advanced is where you master rudder corrections (inverted and upright) which
sets you up nicely for masters. Masters should be somewhat difficult as it is a
destination class. There should be a or some integrated rolling elements (point
of continuous). You would find less people in Masters if they weren't ready for
it. And it would make the move to FAI much easier. <br>

to disagree. I think you begin using roll with rudder as you’re

most sportsman pilots don't use elevator at all before moving up (I'm guilty of
that). I also have seen a lot of intermediate pilots fly 2 rolls without
using rudder. I've even had folks tell me not to use rudder on my 2
rolls. I believe this is bad advice. Slow rolls and point rolls in
intermediate would force intermediate pilots to learn to roll with rudder
before moving up. Requiring advanced pilots to learn slightly more

what I was suggesting was that we need to build up more gradually. 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. I learned to roll using
rubber and elevator by starting with a 4 pt roll. I've heard others doing
the same. I agree that this can be taken to extremes. For example,
I've heard folks suggest that intermediate add 3 rolls. 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).
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. These
or similar changes would close the gap between the various classes.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

a good thing, 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></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>As a few people have said - and I say this all the
time: the sequence you fly contains the maneuvers which you are <em><i><font
face="Times New Roman">judged</font></i></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><i><font face="Times New Roman">your</font></i></em>
sequence over and over <em><i><font face="Times New Roman">every</font></i></em>
time? If so then 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 make each progression seamless. You <em><i><font
face="Times New Roman">must </font></i></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.

building blocks have to come from somewhere. From my experience, I moved out
of Sportsman 4 years ago 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 idea of how it all had to go together because I learned
those building blocks in Sportsman. IF what is proposed were to have happened
in my particular case it would have been quite the obstacle to overcome and
probably would have taken some of the fun out flying pattern for me.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

then take the time to practice the given maneuver outside the sequence. Go
and burn a few tanks flying the problem maneuvers and nothing else.
