<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>The<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> FAI sequence committee ought to let ours do their work. The F11 sequence is a disaster. 1 1/2 reverse cuban with a whole bunch of crap in it followed by an end box inverted half cuban eight = a mess. Also, a snap followed by a 4/8 opposite AND a snap with a 4 pt opposite in the same sequence. What were they thinking? No one could have ever actually flown that mess before putting it on paper.</span><br>

so there’s no confusion, I’m complimenting and crediting the PREVIOUS Sequence
Committee that created the schedules we’ve been flying for the past few years.
I’m on the current committee and hope that the schedules that will serve
pattern in the next few years do so as well as the schedules we’ve been
flying. Just my opinion, but I’ve watched the trends for a couple decades now
and you can really harm the sport, particularly Sportsman and Intermediate
with schedules that are way out of whack with the skill set at those levels.
The increased activity level we’re seeing in and around D4 in Sportsman
through Advanced are directly related to the success of those schedules. I
remember Troy Newman, Joe Lachowski, and possibly Dave Lockhart being on that
committee as well as others and they’re to be commended for getting us back on
track.</span></div>

I couldn’t agree more. The schedule committee has done a fabulous job
but I think we as a group have to stay very vigilant that we maintain a common
“Gap” and progression between the classes. That does NOT mean we can’t
or shouldn’t keep up with the times. But the balance is very
important and I think we currently have that (if by luck or design I don’t
know or care). My son is going to try and jump from Sportsman to
intermediate in the spring and it will be a HUGE one for him. BUT… we
went out to fly the maneuvers last week in stages and while he can’t put
together the whole sequence yet, I don’t think he scared himself making the
attempt. A few of the maneuvers had some pucker factor… the double
immelman was the first time he had ever pushed through an outside half loop,
but since you immediately roll to an upright and comfortable
orientation, he immediately relaxed and after 2 or 3 times I could tell it
won’t be a problem.</span></div>
