Pattern Box Rules (discussion)

[Ken Thompson III]

Gray,
You know what the doctor said, you can't go on holding back your emotions like this.  Come on let it out, tell us what you really think.  You'll feel much better.

  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
