Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce that IAC President Mike Heuer and IAC Vice President Doug McConnell joined the IAC/RV Working Group this past week. This shows the level of interest that the IAC has in the effort to bring more RV pilots into IAC competition.
According to Mike's post to the group: "We have now finalized the Sportsman through Unlimited Known sequences in both Power and Glider and those will be officially announced on the IAC website this coming week (
www.iac.org). However, our Known sequence committee is still working on the Primary sequence.
The one we had last year was deemed by some members as being too simple and hardly worth the expense of coming to an aerobatic contest and then just flying a handful of figures. We wanted something more challenging -- but not so difficult as to be a problem for new entries in competition or the aircraft we want to attract to the category and to competition in general.
When we have the final proposal, I will run it past you guy to see what you think from an RV standpoint."
That's a clear invitation to RV pilots to chime in and voice your opinion. Primary and Sportsman sequences are well within the capabilities of RV aircraft and pilots. I invite you all to come join the IAC/RV Working Group and join the discussion.
HERE is a link to the Group. Or send me a private message with your email address and I'll send you an invitation personally.
