And P19 has some issues that could have made it better in at least one spot.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>If those involved just followed the guidelines a little more closely we would not have had such a controversy. Too many new maneuvers were introduced at one time in any given sequence and the catalog of maneuvers.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>One issue I have with Masters is that there is too much stressing of knife edge flight in the sequence. Two knife edges would have been adequate. Right now even with the elimination of the knife edge in the goofball, there are still 3. When I was involved in sequence development we always tried for a balance of element types in the overall sequence. Dave Lockhart contrived a great spreadsheet that helped give you the best picture of element count. P19 is a great example of imbalance (too many Cuban and 1/2 Cubans). Too many knife edges gives the pilot who has the best skills in trimming an advantage not the pilots flying skills. It also penalizes deficient designs, or crooked planes from a manufacture, and older designs out there that would otherwise fly the sequence adequately. Oh I forgot, judgeablility of an up high knife edge. There was a little controversy about an up high knife edge several sequences back when I was involved, but at least the location of that knife edge was no where near as bad as the one in the Double-I will be.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>And the last is the back to back snaps. Frankly, the way it is setup it disturbs the overall flow of the sequence and having a snap on a turnaround degrades judgeability. Also, the 1-12 snap will be up very high in the air after a half square on corner which is notoriously a tall maneuver. Again, harder to judge.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>People seem to forget, the judging perspective. We are already on overload when it comes to judging. Just my opinion and I will not get into any further arguments on this particular Masters sequence which I may or may not fly next season.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><hr size=2 width="98%" align=center></span></div><div id=divRplyFwdMsg><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>From:</span></b><span style='color:black'> S.
