[NSRCA-discussion] OK it's time to stir thingsup. Where'sthebeef?

Kelly,
 Well you're kind of in luck. Most Pattern Primers ARE one-day events. Since
you'll be flying in the Sportsman class, you can "compete" in a Pattern
Primer (usually only 401 & 402 are flown at a Primer). You'll get your feet
wet with a minimum amount of impact on the family. Pattern Primers are good
because you get the feel of competition but you also get a lot of help from
the experienced pilots. Go to a few of those if you can.
