RE: Masters Class in AMA pattern.
My dog says as a Masters pilot now for a few years, I for one would fly FAI if I wanted to fly FAI sequences. Look at the P sequence vs the 09 Masters sequence. The 09 Masters sequence is what will keep me in Masters again next year. It's a much more difficult and fun pattern to fly. If I was to have to fly the FAI sequence, I would just move up.
Lets remember, these are AMA events right? Not FAI events..
Judging Masters would be no fun though. I do agree with that. But I will do it with a smile on my face when I fly FAI. 3-4 times a contest if need be.
