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

[Mike Wizynajtys]

Ya know, I only flew Saturday when I went to the Signal Seekers 
contest this past summer. But I came away thinking that was OK mainly 
because I was the only person flying in Sportsman. If it's accepted 
for us beginners to fly either Saturday or Sunday then I think we 
need to get the word out. I think there are a lot of people 
interested in trying pattern, but maybe don't because they are 
unaware that it OK to fly only one day. Shoot, I missed the East 
River contest, because I didn't know it would be OK to fly only on 
the second day. Again, I don't care if it costs me a win. That's not why I go.
