I feel fortunate to have come up through the system where everything was a center maneuver. Back then, you could really focus on the geometry and precision of a maneuver and then get a short breather while you turned around without being scored and without being confined to a box. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I also remember the Sportsman class pretty much funding local contests because it was occupied mostly by local guys who rarely traveled more than 80 – 100 miles to compete. You could go to another region a couple hundred miles away and there’d be a whole different group of ten or so guys flying in Sportsman there. All those guys did a pretty credible job without spending the money and time it takes to be competitive now. I think it’s unfortunate that we don’t start off pilots that way now and campaigned for it for a long time.

Masters went from a “build your own” schedule to a fixed set of non-turnaround maneuvers and Expert was introduced as the first AMA all-turnaround schedule. You then have to download 92-93 rulebook and the 94-95 version to see the transition progress.

I would think that his instructions would have been protestable, if anyone had wanted to go down that path, since I'm unaware of any official FAI rule interpretation saying, for example, that constant speed is a part of smoothness and gracefulness.
