consider with these sequences. Judgeability of course and something no one ever
talks about, ability to memorize a sequence and retain it. Not all of us have a
caller readily available when practicing. The current sequence bit me twice so
far this contest season. I actually started to swap two maneuvers
out of sequence even with a caller. Took my 0's and throw away round. I now
make sure my caller reinforces that part of the sequence when calling for me.
In all my years of flying pattern this has never ever happened to me
before. My memory isn't bad. I usually have a new sequence or previous
seasons sequence down in less than two practice sessions at the
beginning of every season.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

did not evaluate it against any guideline criteria. I only flew it for
“feel” and admittedly, I’m somewhat proud to say I’ve flown enough F and
Unknown sequences now that it didn’t seem very unusual. So your critique
there is likely valid. Given that all the maneuvers were flyable with
little more than calling the primary maneuver name along with the individual
elements, real time, I’m hard pressed to call them “fabricated garbage”, as I
think that needlessly insults the people that worked hard, with good intent, to
put these together. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

our constant evolution and increasing difficulty of sequences has generally
stagnated class advancement. When I was moving up, the classes never
changed. So once you were proficient in a class, the only new challenge
was to move up. Now, with new classes every 2 years, even if the
difficulty is the same, you can stay put and still feel challenged learning
something new.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

so far, I will either pack it in or reluctantly drop to Advanced which has
crept ever closer towards being a Masters sequence. This is the first time
I have seen so much controversy over one sequence. Start fresh. There is
still time to form a new committee hopefully with some people who
previously served and get this thing right. There is still plenty of time to
get it right by December 31st. Heck I could do it all on my own and come up

reasonably well. Some fun challenges, but nothing daunting. The two

only sticky maneuver I thought is the 1 1/4, KE flight, 1 1/4. It’s
simply too long to make look pretty, and if it’s a strong head wind, will
really look like crap. You’re basically trying to fit 2 1/2 rolls AND
sustained KE flight on a downwind leg and stay in the box, thus forcing
somewhat rapid rolls which simply look rushed. <br>

Same difficulty really, but a full roll shorter and thus allows for a
more graceful, controlled roll rate.<br>

The Cobra. It’s not as conventional as I think is expected, and I
feel it’s too much for an advanced flyer just learning to snap their airplane
(my opinion). You’re already a bit rushed going into is, and you’re
pushing in from Inverted. No biggie. Half roll up, over the top and
back down on a 45. THEN you have a single snap on the 45 deg DOWN line.

cobra) that a snap like this<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>WILL </span></b>crash an airplane. You’re
heading down, not all that high to begin with, and if you badly miss the snap
and lose your orientation, you’re likely on low throttle and low airspeed and
will proceed to stall/snap it into the ground in your attempt to recover.
I’d much rather see a snap on the UP leg of the cobra. It
would still be rushed, but FAR more airplane and pilot friendly. <br>
