<div>I do not want to be NSRCA president, but If I were NSRCA King, this is what
I would do:</div>
<div> </div>
<div> 1. Eliminate ALL mandatory advancement rules. In fact,
as King, I would ban all conversation about advancement. I've been
saying this for 20 years, but every time this gets voted on, the proposal gets
soundly defeated. Can't we all name a pilot who moved up to Masters and
then dropped out? We should never have rules that discourage
participation. This includes the rule about trying higher
classes and not being able to move back down.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. Sportsman and Intermediate should be
non-turnaround. Turnaround was the death of the casual competitor. No
2 meter planes will be allowed in Sportsman. You're not going to get
a club flyer to compete when there are 4 Allures and a Proteus in his
class. This is not supposed to be a money competition. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>3. Advanced should be 50% turn-around and somewhat less difficult than
it is today. The emphasis here should be on the slightly more
committed pilot and NOT as a building block for Masters. This should
become the new destination class.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>4. Masters should fly all rounds of FAI P, but not compete directly
against FAI pilots. I can put up a respectable P, but I don't want to fly
against Team members. (besides, who would judge?) The sequence would
still change every 2 years. Think of the advantages in judging as FAI
pilots and Masters usually judge each other. This would eliminate the need
for development of a new Masters schedule and let the sequence committee
concentrate on the other 3 classes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>5. It would be nice if we could make Sportsman two 1 day contests,
consisting of 4 rounds each day. Perhaps they could fly two rounds
within each flight. Yes, that would mean 3 more awards,
but you can't expect Sportsman pilots to spend the time and money to go to
2 day contests. This way, a pilot could do family stuff on
Saturday and compete on Sunday.</div>
