<P dir=ltr>For those of us who haven't seen the proposed sequences, what are
they? Are you implying that Masters might have a P&F? Good god, I hope
not. And only Masters has to change every two years, according to AMA rules.
Other classes change every four years. Further, according to the AMA rule book,
NSRCA must submit the sequences to the membership for approval prior to
implementation by the BoD.</P>
<P dir=ltr>We still have also not heard a peep from the BoD on the Nats
situation. A month out and we still don't know who is in charge, or what the FAI
and Masters finals are going to consist of?I've also heard of some sort of
unpublished MOA between NSRCA and Mike H about the NATS. Would be nice to know
if that is true, and, if so, see a copy. I looked thru the BoDs book of motions,
and at least thru April of this year, there is no mention of one being accepted
by the BoD. There was also no mention of any particular NATs format being
accepted by the BoD.</P>
<P dir=ltr>I hope someone from the BoD will let us know soon what is going on
with the NATs and the sequences.</P>

<DIV class=x_aolReplacedBody style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">Recently our District
VP distributed proposed new sequences for 2018, and it’s resulted in quite the
brew-ha-ha in our district (D4). There’s really two issues of concern
being debated in our district list and I’d like to address them both, and open
up the floor for nation-wide, full membership discussion.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since I suspect this could become a long post, I’ll create a quick exec
summary to start. I want to emphasize that this is all simply MY
opinion. It carry’s no more weight than any other member. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><B>Issue #1</B>) there’s significant concern that the NSRCA Leadership
isn’t listening. That they have their own set opinion, and are going to
use their authority to make that opinion reality.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>I believe that
perception IS reality. Regardless of the truth of these accusations, I
feel it needs to be addressed. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><B>Issue #2</B>) The new sequences. The comments are that they
are too hard, too many (masters P&F), no collaboration, no voice from the
membership, no survey, etc. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>I
think… Sportsman, intermediate, Advanced are fine. I also
think they should change less frequently, OR…ideally we create 3 sequences for
each (A, B, C), and rotate them every 2 years. More on why in the
details.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>Masters - I
think we should STRONGLY consider having masters fly the current FAI P
pattern. Always. LOTS of supporting comments on this
below. It fixes MANY problems (and as always, creates a few).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So the first issue is of deep concern to me, because I see people leaving
the NSRCA, and Pattern in general as a result. That’s personally painful
as I’ve been a member for a very long time and have always felt it was a great
organization and have worked hard to encourage others to join us. I don’t
believe that anyone in the organization is trying to be a dictator, or usurp the
control from the masses. But I do believe that the lack of transparency in
some of the more recent issues has lead to mistrust. And WE MUST FIX THAT.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The current issue with the Nationals is a prime example. D4 is a
heavy participant at the nationals due to our geographic proximity (we LOVE
Muncie!). But we understand the need to move it around and our group was a
strong supporter of trying a new venue even though we personally would all have
farther to travel. Not all, but many of our regulars will be in
Arkansas. But as a group, we were all in Muncie when there was
collective agreement that Al Glenn had done a great job in 2016, and was
selected to be the ED for 2017, which was later confirmed by the
BOD. We also knew that there was an official vote to move the
Nats to Arkansas and that Mike Harrison would be facilitating that move.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Changing those rolls, making Mike the ED, Is not only seen as being
horribly disrespectful to Al Glenn, but smacks us (the outside membership) as
“behind closed doors” politics. Something that’s intolerable in a
hobby. Mike may be the greatest ED of all time. But there’s a
process we go through, membership to communicate with and get consensus from,
and general common courtesy to Al, ALL of which appears to have been laid to
waste. If that’s NOT the reality… it’s clearly the perception. It
may be too late to fix the reality of who’s doing what for the nats. But I
would very much like NSRCA leadership to start addressing the issue, perception
or reality, in a meaningful, transparent, and communicative manner. And if
decisions were made inappropriately, simply apologize, and we’ll move on, and
make an effort not to repeat them. No one here is a paid professional.
EVERYONE is doing their best to promote the hobby they love. We all have
opinions (I’m clearly expressing mine), and we won’t all
agree. Just remember that board members are elected to voice
the opinions of their ENTIRE district, which may differ with their own personal
opinions. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>‘Nuff whining on that. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><B>Issue 2. Sequences</B></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN><B>Lower
classes </B>- Meant to be the Building blocks for Pattern. Each class
having increasing difficulty, measured spacing in complexity, designed to
prepare the pilot for the next class. ALL classes are potential
“Destination” classes for a variety of reasons, (Time, age, interest, talent,
etc). As such, changing the schedules periodically allows for some
variety without moving classes. All Good. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>But that said,
creating all new sequences ever few years is both a time consuming effort, and
requires strict discipline and guidelines to prevent complexity creep. So
my suggestion is, rather than a new committee making a new set of sequences
every few years, that instead, we take the time to create 3 sequences for each
class, an A, B and C pattern, which would allow a one time effort to produce
balanced, thoughtful, progressive sequences that would effectively create a 6
year cycle in any class before the patterns repeated (assume you flew each for 2
years). Even for the perennial Advanced flyer, that’s sufficient to
provide challenge if they truly are unable to move up. As
always… My $0.02</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span
style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN><B>MASTERS</B>. This one I have
strong opinions on so bear with me. We have numerous issues to
solve…</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>*<SPAN
class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"> </SPAN>Bored perennial Masters
pilots that want ever increasing complexity but who lack the desire to attempt
to fly the F pattern in FAI. </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>*<SPAN
class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"> </SPAN>An every increasing
complexity gap as FAI continues to push the boundaries of what our aircraft can
do</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>*<SPAN
class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"> </SPAN>A dwindling FAI class
due to that gap, and a Masters sequence that does little to truly prep a pilot
for FAI</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>*<SPAN
class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"> </SPAN>Judging challenges, as
ever increasing complexity in our routines makes them harder to judge if you’re
not intimately familiar with the sequence.</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>* <SPAN
class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>Contest Logistics - Too
many in one class, not enough in another (typically Masters vs FAI)</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In my mind, ONE thing fixes all of this. <B>Adopting the P pattern as
our Masters class sequence.</B></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>In the rest of
the world, The P pattern IS the pattern for those not flying the full FAI
program. It’s designed with that in mind. It’s complex, but
very much on par with our typical Masters programs. It will challenge
those bored pilots and changes reliably every 2 years with NO effort!</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>As FAI adds
new maneuvers, they put components of them into the P pattern. More snaps,
some KE segments, introductory integrated rolling, etc. Without
this, the gap between FAI and Masters will continue to widen, making the jump
for all but a few virtually impossible.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>By flying the
P pattern for the season, should a masters pilot choose to try FAI, they only
have one additional pattern to learn. It’s a less daunting exercise than
suddenly having 2 new sequences. In reverse, should there be limited FAI
participants at a contest, eliminating the FAI class for logistical reasons
allows the one or two FAI pilots to simply fly Masters at the local event and
not have it be a complete unknown. Or alternatively, several of the top
Masters pilots could opt to fly with the FAI group, and possibly agree not to
fly the F sequence. Bottom line, there are more options.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>Judging - BOTH
classes benefit tremendously from improved judging as more people will know the
nuances of the sequence they’re judging as an active flyer of it. No more
missed zeros because they don’t know it. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=x_Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>There are so
many reasons (ok, in MY mind) why this makes sense that I don’t really
understand the opposition to it. Yes, the FAI crew throws in a half
integrated loop here and there and I know some are deathly opposed to
that. I also recall the first time we told masters pilots to roll both
right AND left… 1998. My world came to an end. But we learned.
Our planes roll so easily now by comparison to a curare that we should expect
the maneuvers to advance with them. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ok, I’ll get off my soap box. These are MY opinions. I think
they’re born from a good deal of experience, but they’re still just one person’s
thoughts. We need to get back to open discussion, survey’s, and
consensus. No, we won’t please everyone. But we do need to
please “most”. We all love this niche of the hobby. We all want it
to grow. We all have good intentions. Let’s go into conversations
with that in mind. </DIV>
