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'.
