NEW CONTEST - Negotiating

[Larry Ott]

NEW CONTEST - NegotiatingLarry,

I took the test last June and I also reported the error. I haven't looked at
the
test recently, but I am glad to hear they corrected it. I believe the test I
took
was just an old version that was correct when written. And yes, I have seen
pigs fly <vbg>.

Thanks for letting us know.

Larry Ott

  Larry O
.

  Was that with the new one or the test from last year?

  I did the same thing last year and called AMA to confirm that it was an
error on the test. They said they would change it. I just looked at the  CD
application on the AMA website and it has in fact changed. I didn't take the
test though


  See ya,

  Larry

    Just joking, but most of the questions seemed like that at first
glance...

    Eric,

    Congrats on getting a new contest on the schedule when pattern contests
seem
    to be declining, at least here in Colorado.

    Watch out for the CD test!  There is one multiple choice question that
does not
    have a correct answer listed. I wrote in the correct answer <g>.

              In my latest MA column (that probably hits the streets in
about three months - plus two???) I wrote about running a contest from a
CD's perspective. I spent some time on how to persuade a club to let you use
their field etc. Often the sticking point is that they lose their field for
two days.

              Well wouldn't you know it,  I was up in front of my local club
last night lobbying for a new contest and that objection came up. The answer
that worked was, "It's not really two days - the field can be opened up
about 5 PM after the first days flying and after about 2 PM on the Sunday".
I added that if they wanted clinic the week before for club members it would
be a joy to do, and the whole meeting turned around to positive.

      (The result BTW is that there will be a new contest called West
Windsor Season Finale Pattern Contest, in NJ on Sept 13 and 14 at a field
just off of Rt. 38 with easy access from exit 4 of the NJ turnpike and exit
43 of I-295).

      Now all I have to do is complete my CD test, send in a sanction and
get all the D-1 and in-range-D-2 pilots to show up.....

      Regards,

      Eric.
