TomParsons Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 3. "RE: Primary or Sportsman?" 05-11-02, 02:50z  Andrew- You make an especially good point about staying oriented, correcting for the wind, etc. That sort of consideration may end up deciding what I'd be willing to fly in front of judges. At the tail end of my Extra lessons last month, I had the chance to try flying the Primary sequence in a box. It took me three tries just to stay inside the box through the whole thing. I can only guess how much more difficult the Sportsman sequence is to fit inside that little box (of course, it would be easier in a Pitts going 30 mph slower!). Tom P. P.S. Thanks for posting the Form Bs. I have the Form As for Primary and Sportsman tacked on my wall at the office- when I need a 10-second break from work, I imagine flying a hammerhead or a reverse wedge...
