NEW concept? for pattern entry.

[ArestiPattern at aol.com]

Every segment of this hobby is expensive if you want to be the best.  I 
recently dabbled with RC Open Combat for something different.  WHOA, these guys are 
serious about this streamer hackin' stuff.  $70 DISPOSABLE airplane kits (not 
arf), $250 .30 Jett motors, Radios, extra receivers and servos because of the 
attrition, travel, streamers, on and on.  Many guys are flying concurrently 
in Scale Combat.  They'll show up with a total of 8 airplanes for one weekend's 
contest and hope to go home with something left.  And, believe it or not, 
this event has turned into a team sport with the caller being darned near as 
important as the flyer.  If you dont have a good helper calling out the targets 
for you, you'll get munched.  

Add it up, pattern aint so bad.
