Weight Limit problem long

[Tomanek, Wojtek]

I am having a lot of fun with pattern and it is both very challenging and
satisfying in addition to hanging out with fun guys at contests.  However to
the sports flyer pattern appears to be a lot of work and commitment - they
do not see it as being challenging and interesting. That is what I meant.

P.S. As a mater of fact I do not own non pattern planes except for my
original trainer.  Oh yea forgot about the edge a high performance 100"
glider - but I it is still in the box.

	What?? Wojtek I don't think you meant that. What's wrong with having
fun while you are flying? Isn't that what pattern is supposed to be? If it
isn't fun for you, then it might not be the right discipline to express
yourself
