So if the current market share isn't enough you make changes to appeal to 
the greatest number of people thereby increasing the market share.

When I was mentioning a engine size limit I wasn't refering to just 
sportsman, I was refering to ALL classes.    A newbe isn't just watching 
the sportsman class when he goes to his first contest, he is watching the 
most impressive (or most expensive) planes at a contest....  Again 
perception is the problem.

I'd be the first to say roll back the rule book to the way it was in 1990 
when there was a greater interest in Pattern than there is today.   I see 
less and less people getting into and staying in pattern and the NSRCA 
membership numbers supports that statement....
