It always has been longer for purposes of differentiation of that group. The progressive nature of Pattern classes should make that fact obvious but apparently some folks continue to argue that Masters gets preferential treatment by getting a disproportionate amount of time at any event. Well, in a manner of speaking, yes, Masters does get preferential treatment, out of necessity. So does F3A. It always has been so and will continue as long as the sport is flown.</div>

To me, it would help also preserve our numbers and participation in the long term. Who wants to blow up his equipment? I certainly don't. How long will someone that loses batteries regularly, stick with it? I would argue not long. Of course we have powerplant options but many just love the plug and play nature of electric. It helps participation in and preservation of the sport and, to me, that's a good thing</div>

<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Who decided that there should be a fair “share” of contest time? That’s the most ridiculous argument I’ve ever heard. Masters takes longer not just because the number of maneuvers in the sequence but also because Masters pilots probably fly half the speed of any class below them. Who cares? Should we do a survey to see the average number of people in each class nationwide and make the sequences long enough that all classes have equal air time? Sportsman (or Novice as I call it) would end up with a 30 maneuver sequence. The amount of time to fly a sequence should have NOTHING to do with this. Neither should powerplant choices, average number of contestants, or anything else anyone wants to throw out there. Simply put, the Masters sequence needs to be sufficient in difficulty to keep it competitive year after year for those who have made it a destination, and also difficult enough (and appropriate) for those who want to be able to move up to F3A eventually.</SPAN></div>

<br>
When it comes to the pattern length we should all have a say. Why should the Masters pattern have more maneuvers and take longer than any other pattern? You cannot say there is no impact on other flyers and their judging duties when Masters is often the largest class and use more than their share of the contest time as well. You <I>could</I> say that the "content" of each class pattern should be up to those with "skin" in the game.<br>
<br>
There was nothing in the survey that stated "Vote only for the patterns in the class you are flying or may fly next year". Nor do I believe that such a statement should be added.<br>

<div class=MsoNormal style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto">Included in all this material was a draft document that outlined the process on how sequences are developed, tested and approved and the makeup/content of the sequences based on the class it is meant to serve. This document is titled "NSRCA Procedures, Standards and Guidelines for AMA R/C Precision Aerobatics Sequence Development". A mouthful, but it does outline a lot of information. It details the charter for the Sequence Committee, sequence development standards and guidelines for all classes, catalog of maneuvers for all classes and the process that the NSRCA will follow in designing, testing and approving changes to sequences, or for proposed sequences. These sequence development standards and guidelines have been in place for about 4 years now and have been used very successfully to build the current set of sequences that everyone is flying today, in addition to the prior Masters sequence (and the new one as well).</div>

<div>
<div class=MsoNormal style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto">Overall we received positive comments on the proposed sequences from Sportsman through Masters. As you know, there were two sequences developed for Masters, a long sequence using the standard 23 maneuver count and a short sequence using 19 maneuvers. In the time since we posted the sequences, some informal surveys were also made on the NSRCA website as well as on RCU asking for a preference of either the short or long Masters schedule. The overwhelming majority of respondents chose the short sequence. However, these surveys were a little flawed in that we didn't really know who was voting for them - were they all judges/pilots who voted because they didn't want to judge a long sequence, or were they really current and/or future Masters pilots that really did want to fly a shorter sequence.</div>

</div>
<div>
<div class=MsoNormal style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto">Since the release of the proposed schedules, and some post Nats comments, the sequence committee has been hard at work making some tweaks to the short schedule with a view to increasing the difficulty level of the short Masters sequence to bring it into line with the long Masters sequence and also to ensure that we weren't lowering the bar in difficulty by introducing a shorter sequence. Bear in mind that the short sequence is only 19 maneuvers (17 of them flyable) so raising the difficulty level is a challenge if one is to avoid using some existing F3A type maneuvers, or "airplane killers", and to only use maneuvers that match the philosophy that we've embraced for a number of years. Since we've never developed a short Masters sequence, we need to make sure we get it right and that it not only provides a challenge to those that fly it but that it still provides a somewhat relatively higher jump for those pilots that are moving up from Advanced. We realize that creating a perfect schedule is not going to happen - we won't be able to please every pilot that moves up from Advanced, nor will we be able to please some former F3A pilots that think the schedule is too easy and isn't enough of a challenge. There has to be a balance. The Sequence Committee came up with some good positive changes and these are being vetted/tested as I write this. They've received extremely positive feedback from everyone that has either flown the newer short sequence on a simulator or using their pattern plane at the field. By the end of this weekend we'll know for sure whether it is a keeper or not.</div>

The reason they need to know is that the NSRCA board will vote in the next couple of weeks to approve all the proposed sequences and also to select which sequence the Masters class will be flying in 2011/2012.</div>
