According to the AMA, the NSRCA is only responsible to its
membership when it comes to implementing new sequences.<br>
<br>
<font color="#000000">15. Sequences<br>
The Radio Control Aerobatics sequences will be developed
periodically by the National Society of Radio Control Aerobatics
(NSRCA) Sequence Committee which is appointed by the NSRCA Board
of Directors. The NSRCA Board of Directors will supervise the
sequence development and will submit the proposed sequences to the
membership for approval before they approve all sequences for use
in RCA competition.<br>
<br>
<font color="#3333ff">Although there is no requirement to do so, I
believe the survey includes all those signed up on the site not
just the membership. That list of site registrants, which
includes former members of the NSRCA and those just interested
in pattern but have never been an NSRCA member, should comprise
the bulk of those interested in pattern in the USA. <br>
<br>
The sequences we fly next year will be enthusiastically greeted
by some, flown by most and rejected by a few regardless of the
sequences finally selected. I wish I could have had more input
in the selection choice but will be flying both the 2018-19
Masters and P19 next year regardless. <br>
<br>
A suggestion to the board. Form a committee to review and update
the charter and guide over the next year. Reestablish the
criteria for difficulty, propose a new Kfactor standard, place
limits on new maneuver types and determine how to regularize the
relationship between AMA classes and FAI classes, including the
judging criteria<font color="#000000"> <font color="#3333ff">and
Kfactors</font>.<br>
<br>
<font color="#3333ff">A final note. You may not agree with the
board or individual members or committee members but you
should always realize that they are doing their best and
that the pay is lousy. If you have strongly held opinions
about the future of pattern, maybe it is time you ran for a
board position. If you've already been there and strongly
disagree with where the board is going now, maybe it's time
to run again.</font><br>
