Jason’s comment here about the unique nature of FAI/Masters and they ability to go back and forth is something I think we REALLY need to talk about. The ability for people to go back and forth in ALL the classes. For some, the top of the mountain is F3A and
jumping in and out of Masters helps them deal with life issues… Crazy work schedule, Aging, raising kids… all the things that make it hard to practice and stay in your top class. But what if you’re “top” class is Advanced?? Then you need to ability to
fly intermediate when that busy year comes and you just want to be able to participate and not feel like an idiot. I know, I know, they can get approval. But it should be simply than that. Our situations are all unique, and they vary throughout the year
and season.

<div class="">True, but let's not throw F3A under the bus. We have no control of it but do have control over Sportsman-Masters. There is no 'destination class', the only dc is the one you as a pilot chooses. The good thing about the Masters/F3A classes is a
pilot can go back and forth between them as they choose. </div>
<div class="">I agree that there shouldn't be difficult integrated rolling stuff in Masters, but when pilots complained about a roll across the top 90° (not proposed 180°, which I don't condone) I was perplexed. The easiest way to do that was roll and use your
throttle to make the loop round. Sometimes I believe we overthink flying. Look for the simplest solutions first before making it so difficult. </div>
<div class="">It would be interesting to have future and current Masters make up or list some 'integrated rolling' maneuvers that you've done or would like to do. If I'm overstepping boundaries not being a Masters pilot, my apologies.<br class="">

passion, a want. You can't 'make' someone a pattern pilot, they have to be one and not know it yet. Yes pattern makes most of the Worlds best pilots, but you can't take a pilot and make them a pattern pilot. If there isn't a drive to become better, not the
best (that's the 2% of us), you'll only have a casual or short term pattern pilot at best. At my age I know my time is probably limited as far as being competitive or even having a chance at winning big events anymore, but my drive to be better and push myself
is still there. So I will continue to learn new F patterns that will drain me every day I practice because I am a Pattern pilot 😁</span><br style="color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;" class="">
