<DIV>I too find the masters proposed does not consume more power than the current, maybe slightly less? The current schedule, second to last maneuver is the figure eight, bottom first. This one can really put a hurt on the battery, at the end of the sequence!</DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: comic sans ms,sans-serif; COLOR: #0000ff">I also think it's important to understand that, for Masters, this is only a 1 year sequence. Masters will get a new sequence in 2016-2017 to coincide with FAI and all the rest of the AMA classes will fly the new sequences for 3 years. This is due to the rule that says Masters must change at least every 2 years (I can't remember if Dale told me Advanced would get a new sequence after 2015 as well). I also do not think that there's anything in the new sequence for Masters that causes us to spend more on equipment versus the current sequence. No maneuver in the proposed sequence requires more power or anything out of the ordinary in my opinion at all. In fact, I feel that, aside from a maneuver or two, the proposed sequence is easier than what we are flying now. I'm using less mah albeit not by much and the sequence flows nicely. The Top Hat requires some pre-planning which I also enjoy along with the centered Stall Turn. It really is a good sequence.</DIV>

<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">I do, and yes I think it’s simply the reality of any competition. Technology changes in every sport, and the sport adapts to the technology. I also think the idea of never moving back in classes is a stigma we need to eradicate. There are a myriad of valid reasons that someone would and should move back a class without issue. There comes a point in the hobby where it transitions from mostly competitive, to mostly social. Age, vision, desire, expense, life, all can get in the way of the burning pursuit to be the very best, but our passion for the hobby and the people in it cause us to want to stay in this competitive niche for the social value AND… SELF competition. Keeping our skills, setting our own goals, etc. None of that should hold back the competitor that is still climbing the ladder and striving to make our world team.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I’d also argue that nothing being introduced in this cycle does anything to change the needed equipment, and is all well within the skill of any Masters pilot. Is it a slippery slope to more complex maneuvers? Probably. But that’s the point. By the time another cycle has come around, pilots will be more comfortable with that simple roll over the top. Moreover, the current “top designs” will have two more years to bleed into the used market, and trickle down to the lower classes as they always have. Few are still flying the late 90’s designs that would struggle with a long sustained knife edge or be incapable of a KE loop. It’s been 10 years since the KE loop was introduced into FAI and at this point those designs have infiltrated down through even the Sportsman ranks, long before the maneuver has worked into even the Masters pattern. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So yes… I realize it will drive a few away. But I think it will be a net positive for the overall health of the sport, and for our overall competitiveness.

<DIV>Integrated rolling maneuvers were only introduced to FAI in the last 10 years. Over that time Masters has stayed fairly stagnant with regard to any type of new maneuver or difficulty. I was flying masters when they introduced 2 rolls in opposite directions and we all had a similar thought… “I have to roll the OTHER way??? This isn’t FAI….” We adjusted. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The gap between Masters and FAI is growing rapidly. If we want Masters to prepare pilots for FAI than we need to keep the gap reasonable. Yes, Masters is a destination for some. So is Advanced…heck, so is Intermediate. But that doesn’t change their primary purpose of being stepping stones to improve our flying, culminating with FAI. </DIV>
