Bill, I might have agreed with you until a few weeks ago when I started coaching a couple of relatively new flyers in the Sportsman pattern. I'd forgotten just how much workload there is if you haven't done it before.
Now I'm of the opinion that the first segment of the Sportsman sequence is almost enough for a club class. Maybe straight flight out, half reverse cuban, straight flight back, then a loop, a roll and a 45 degree downline all on center with free turnarounds between.
