Pattern Box Rules (discussion)

[Gray E Fowler]

My vote would be to up the penalty for flying too far out.  Hard to tell 
if it is 150 or 175, but 200 meters to me is a ZERO...outta the box. But I 
can only give a serious 2pt downgrade. It bothers me when people fly 
200-225 meters out with a downgrade. Problem here of course is the FAI's 
are about the worse offenders -i.e. can't do a rolling circle within 175 
meters-fly it right or get rid of it. Considering that us low class types 
follow their lead (butt sniffin' in reality) no wonder I see 250 meter 
patterns.
The box dimensions are just fine. Slow the plane down and everything fits 
(for those of you who need a plane that WILL slow down see 
www.aeroslave.com-thankyouverymuch).  For those who still have a "hate 
thing" for turn around, to me turn around is what makes it flow, and is 
what makes it cool. Yeah its hard and I suck, so what? 
While I am on a rant, how stupid is that we got rid of T.O. and 
landings??? Too hard also? Actually WE did not get rid of them.....

Love to all.....

Wait..one more! I got a P-51 coin and a DVD in the mail from the AMA 
yesterday UNSOLICITED but now they want me to either mail it back or give 
them $9. WTF is that all about. Now I am considering keeping the coin just 
because it is a P-51, but I can just imagine whats on the DVD...a control 
line P-51 doing "stunts"....wow, maybe some free flight?? I hate the MA 
mag....I can only imagine whats on the DVD.
If I am too lazy to mail the DVD back and do not pay the $9 what happens 
to me? AMA hate mail? AMA collection agency? "Bruno" Dave Brown at my door 
step or the AMA Gansta-rappers/collections.......

More love to all and a merry P-51
