new concepts

[Wayne Galligan]

For any of you who know Gray know that he will do anything to help you when it comes to this pattern stuff.   Between him and Lance they have helped me and many others get to a competitive level in pattern flying and help develop the building skills to create one of these machines.  These two guys have been very conducive to helping the pattern community in the Dallas area and D6 for that matter.  Lance hosts a builders night in his shop to assist the neophytes in building these precision aircraft. And together they spend countless hours in the pattern community to keep interest up in the our SIG.

  I realize (hope) what Gray posted was a joke and not to take it seriously.  I believe if you want to "entice" someone into pattern then you must humble yourself enough to fly with the "average club shmoe".  Everytime the subject of bringing new members into pattern comes up, all I hear is "them coming to us".  What about us going to them?  Go out and buy a 40 sized fun-fly plane, leave the pattern plane at home for a change, and mix it up with your fellow club members.  You maybe suprised what may come of the conversations that ensue.  Heck, you may discover a way to have fun without your pattern plane.

  The flame suit is on!  Fire away.

    Gray-- I gotta quit pattern. I meet about 1/2 of the "forget the guy" list. 
    -- OK, I don't have a war bird, but I have a ARF bipe and other sport planes that I love to fly around with abandon. 
    -- Gotta fun fly and think its pretty cool to hop off the field, snap 3 times and loop to a T&C. If I could just do it in 3 seconds! 
    -- I got more .46 sized engines than pattern engines.
    -- You didn't mention float flying, but that is a major kick.

    I like all kinds of flying. I spend the most time and money on pattern, because it brings the most satisfaction among the spread of interests, but I would be bored if restricted to only one venue.

    I live my life as a dabbler.
