<BR> Flying the F's seems to go pretty well. <BR>
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.<BR>
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.<BR>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I’d like to propose the following –</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">- For the balance of 2009, FAI flies the P-11 sequence Saturday and Sunday (some other Districts are already doing this)</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">- For 2010, FAI flies P-11 4 rounds Saturday, and then optionally 2 round F-11 on Sunday.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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.</SPAN></FONT></P>
