[NSRCA-discussion] 16th Annual Pocono Pattern contest info, June 24-25

[Ed Alt]

BlankI've been getting requests for camping info, other lodging info and directions etc. for the contest. Here's the scoop:

For camping, you contact KOA for camping site details http://www.koa.com/where/pa/38101/  

For other lodging, here's a list:

The field is open from 10:00 onwards for practice flying on Friday.  Registration from 8:00 to 9:30 Saturday.  PIlots meeting at 9:30.  Flying starts at 10:00.  Award plaques 1st through 3rd place for each class after we wrap up on Sunday.  Contest entry fee is $35, which includes pilot BBQ (dog or burger, chips & drink) lunch Sat and Sun.

The informal "Mini e-Pattern" event is Saturday late afternoon/early evening after the regular contest rounds are completed.  No regular contest rounds will be sacrificed for this!  This is a fun, after hours thing when we're done dueling with the big stuff.  No additional entry fee if you are registered for the Pattern contest.  We invented two classes for this, Novice and Expert.  Novice is non-turnaround style, about 7 or 8 figures that you will see for the first time that day.   Expert will be turnaround style, something in the 10 to 12 figure range and you will also see the sequence for the first time that day.  Rules - has to be electric, one prop, fixed wing, 2200 mAh 3 cell LiPo limit.  You are welcome to try another battery chemistry that is rated similarly, if you dare. There is one nice little engraved wood plaque for the winner in each of these e-Pattern events, just for fun.

It's looking like a really good turn out again.  Pre-registrations still welcome.

See you there!
