[NSRCA-dist1] FAI

[Anthony Romano]

 Flying the F's seems to go pretty well. 

 Unfortunetaly, the coaching and discussion period after the flights can slow the contest down quite a bit. The slow transitions of pilots and judges between classes is maddening to a CD. It gets really old to chase down the same people round after round.

 I really like the F optional idea and using the same score sheets. This makes scoring a lot easier and allows those like myself who lack the time and the talent to learn the finals sequence to still compete in FAI. Otherwise, expect more bloat in Masters.

Hello All,
 
2009 saw some experimenting at a couple contests for FAI – basically flying 4 rounds of P0-9 on Saturday, and an option to fly 2 rounds of F-09 on Sunday.  The intent was to better prepare D1 pilots (and potential judges) for the finals sequence at the NATs semifinals and finals.
 
I’d like to propose the following –
- For the balance of 2009, FAI flies the P-11 sequence Saturday and Sunday (some other Districts are already doing this)
- For 2010, FAI flies P-11 4 rounds Saturday, and then optionally 2 round F-11 on Sunday.
 
The optional F rounds on Sunday are intended to be an opportunity to try/practice F for the FAI pilots that choose to do so.  Any FAI pilots that wish to stay with the P-11 can do so.  All scores will be recorded on P-11 sheets to keep logistics simple.  Pilots choosing to fly the F will be at a bit of a disadvantage to pilots sticking with the P, as the F is 70K while the P is 60K.  From the experience in 2009, this is not likely to have an outcome on the placings.
 
Yea’s??  Nea’s??  Questions, comments?
 
Regards,
 
Dave Lockhart
