<P class=yiv1412659575MsoNormal>And for guys flying smaller electrics, this would be tough. My son Caleb is going to try his first contest hopefully next month at Green Sea. He has a .40 size Great Planes Escpade on 4S 3000 packs. There is no way he could fly the sequence twice on a charge. If we are encouraging people to fly sportsman with anything they have, we could potentially run some off if we did this. <BR><BR><BR><BR><B>On Thu 09/23/10 10:29 AM , "Atwood, Mark" <A href="http://us.mc623.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=atwoodm@paragon-inc.com" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:atwoodm@paragon-inc.com">atwoodm@paragon-inc.com</A> sent:</B></DIV>

<DIV>I agree, hence why I stated it in parenthesis at the end of my comment. My opinion is that a Sportsman pilot would only fly 1/2 of the rounds as the rest of the pilots. Pro's and Con's with this...When I flew Sportsman, I can say I felt a little cheated not flying on a Sunday because all my rounds were complete by the third round on Saturday.</DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>I also believe the intent was to allow for more flight maneuvers at a contest to increase the learning curve of the Sportsman and reward the best sequence of the flight. I would find it difficult to believe the intent of this rule was get them done faster.</DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>As a CD I would never use the Sportsman Option to count as two rounds.</DIV></DIV>

Not a good thing for all AMA classes as this gap will surely be distributed to the lower classes for balance.</SPAN></DIV></DIV></DIV>

<DIV>Pattern length for each class has been a design criteria for a number of years and it has been used very successfully to build current and past sequences. Since we are using each of the classes as a building block to the next higher class, it makes sense to use each sequence to work on and build flying skills. One can only do so much with maneuvers in a class before it becomes too intense for the pilot and wears them out (in the lower classes) - that's why Sportsman has box entry/exit breaks during the sequence. BTW, the rules also state that a CD can have Sportsman fly their sequence back-to-back if they'd like to fly a little longer.</DIV></DIV></DIV>

<DIV>Derek,<BR><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".

<DIV>After writing my reply to you I got to thinking again and I don't agree with your assessment. This is about selecting a sequence that matter to the people that fly it not to the people that judge it or to the people that may have to wait around to fly again because of a large Masters turnout.</DIV></DIV></DIV>

<DIV><BR><B>Subject:</B> [NSRCA-discussion] Proposed NSRCA sequences for 2011 and beyond</DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Over 10 months ago the NSRCA Sequence Committee completed its work on the new sequences. These were posted on the NSRCA website for review and comment - see below:</DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://nsrca.us/proposedsequences/2011sequences.html" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://nsrca.us/proposedsequences/2011sequences.html</A></DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>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>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>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></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>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></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>When we do post the revised sequence I would like all of you that have "skin in this game", meaning you are a current Masters pilot or will be moving to Masters in the next year or two, to please contact your NSRCA District VP and let them know what your preference is - short or long sequence. 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></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>The Sequence Committee is comprised of Joe Lachowski, Dave Lockhart, Verne Koester, Bill Glaze, Archie Stafford, and Richard Lewis. They've put in an extraordinary amount of work on these sequences and documentation and deserve huge kudos from everyone! Thanks guys - your work is very much appreciated!</DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>We've also created a Sequence Committee section on the NSRCA website which will have more information soon. It will contain the updated draft documentation and all the proposed sequences in one location. You can get to the new section from the main menu - just look for Sequence Committee - it is near the bottom of the menu.</DIV></DIV></DIV>
