 The Hoffman contest this year and at least 2 people that came a flew Sunday, not sure if it was just because of the weather (35 MPH)or work, but they wasn't there Saturday.

That sounds good too, for the lower classes. I think the upper class sequences are too long and demanding for that.....especially for the electric powered planes. But in the end, if I can come and fly just one day without people being upset with it, then I'd definitely attend more contests. I could care less weather or not I win anything. I just want to fly in front of the judges....and BS with the guys. Of course, I'd be willing to scribe too if needed or even judge when I learn how.

At our contests here in D8, the Sportsman pilots fly two sequences per flight.  The take off/landing scores are used twice for scoring.  In essence, they are flying two rounds per flight.  Seems like an easy way to handle two one day contests....  The  pilots can fly either day, or fly both days and get in two contests for the weekend....

John,



So far from this discussion it seems to me that most of the die-hard flyers (mostly in the upper classes) don't like the idea of a one day contest. The one day contest would seem to appeal more to someone that wants to try pattern, ie: someone entering the Sportsman class. Why not arrange it so that a two-day event will have two one-day contests (maybe three rounds each day) for just the Sportsman class, and all other classes will be the standard two-day format.



Just a thought to throw out on the table.

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.
