FW: December K-Factor

[Bill Glaze]

Mr. Lindberg, AVP, a few years ago wrote a continuing story wherein he 
took a small group of aspiring pattern flyers from sport flying, through 
constructing their first pattern planes, to their first contest.  It was 
absorbing, to say the least.  While he had the series going, it was the 
first thing I read in the magazine every month.  Articles and such as 
this are timeless in their ability to interest both experienced and new 
folks.
There is no doubt that the KF is a powerful tool.  If cost is now under 
control, it may be possible to look at wider distribution to further 
interest in potential members/contestants.  Always worth a look.
