Making anything we do a question of a few bucks is a little silly. If this were a budget minded venture, few would do it. We fly pattern because it's fun, right?
I'll continue to support the NSRCA because I believe it is a good thing for all of us to have a voice. Maybe we should spend some of the time used to write essays here and develop articles for the K-Factor to publish.
