Well you maybe right that some pilots do not know what a sharp corner is, or they do not know a 5 foot radius is not being done, However I do know from speaking to dozens of top pilots, that they do indeed know what a sharp corner is, and they all also know that no one is doing a 5 foot radius, So I have a hard time believing anyone capable of getting on the team, would not know what a sharp corner is, and that they are indeed NOT turning a 5 foot radius corner in their pattern.
I do agree with you that we should have some sort of program to train, or help any team member that wants to take advantage of something like you suggested, but implementation is difficult

Well, I agree in principle to what you said. I do not think you or I or anyone else for that matter knows who might be able to make the team 5 to 10 years from now. Or even if there will be a team that far into the future! I will predict however that if WE can't put something in place to change the current trend then Paul's suggestion of getting used to losing will be a fact!
As I said before, I agree that establishing an organization to accomplish the kind of training required will be difficult. There are people within the stunt community that could do it. I believe the Chinese have such an organization (Probably supported by their Government) and it's possible that some of the European countries still do. Certainly several used to have such organizations.
