Not bad, would have preferred to see the spin be inverted though. 3-turn spin is what we're already doing in Advanced...
A 3-turn spin is not in the new Advanced sequence though. And we have not done an upright spin in a while in Masters. There are just so many spin variations.
And think about it, for the Advanced pilot moving up to Masters, it is a little less workload. He can focus more on the reverse rollers.
Remember the sequence is changed every two years for Masters. Hopefully the NSRCA will adopt the two year cycle for Advanced, as well.
We can Monday Morning Quarterback on a sequence all day long. No sequence is perfect and we really don't want to create the perfect sequence do we? If we do, then the next time around it'll be harder to come up with that ultimate sequence that'll make everyone happy.
I checked on that before I commented, I saw the 3-turn spin wasn't in the new Advanced, just woulda liked a change or maybe a 1/2 spin. Keep in mind everyone who has moved up to Masters in the past couple of years or will be moving up in the next year or two have already flown that maneuver ad nauseum. Definitely agree, it shouldn't be 2 one and a half turn spins opposite. That's definitely F3A there.
