K-Factor vision of the future.

Re: K-Factor vision of the future.Ernest.
 
    My point exactly. Just because those on the official side of the NSRCA have the modern and fast capability not all that would like to join or are new to pattern have the resources or luxury of these conveyances. I believe they assume everyone has one strapped to themselves or access to them at work also. Ain't so by a long shot.

    I agree, an online K-Factor would be the way to go.  IMAC has done a great job with their website as well.

    What is most exciting about this sport and the web, is the ability to interact with other modelers.  I find great message boards for all SIGS like RCCA, IMAC and NMPRA....and even SPADS...lol...you know, the cheap coroplast and pvc gutterpipe wonders?  I was surprised, after my recent membership renewal, that NSRCA had no such message board, only an old fashioned 'mail forwarding' function.....BLAH.

    Tony, if you are President (you get my vote) i'd explore hooking up with RC Universe for all messages about pattern and NSRCA.  Also, IMAC and RCCA now have an agreement with RC Excellence magazine to publish their newsletter within its bimonthly publication.

    The web can pump a tremendous amount of adrenaline back into the sport of pattern flying, lets utilize it to its fullest.  If there are guys whom still resist buying a computer and going online (kinda like the old vinyl record album vs. compact disk days....lol) then they will be left to bear the cost of paper newsletters, not the rest of us with our 'wizbang dell whatevers'.
