Pattern Box Rules (discussion)

[Paul Horan]

Nat,
    I am an old new competitor.  I dabbled with novice pattern in 85,  in 86 I managed to 
mid air my new pattern plane on the 31 st flight.  Took a 20 year vacation from pattern.
Paul

>> Also the box instills a dicipline that I find challanging but enjoyable. 
>> I think
