[NSRCA-discussion] Pattern Poll

[John Konneker]

Jason,
I am just getting back in to RC and pattern after over 20 years.
I was lucky enough to win District 5 Sportsman Championship this year!
My answers are as an old pattern guy trying to crawl/claw his way back up 
the pattern ladder.
I will try to type my answer next to the question.

Solid

Pick my own

Price is hard to say...a good value would be the determinant...as long it's
