[NSRCA-discussion] What is (should be) NSRCA's real goal? (The way I see it)

[Adrien L Terrenoire]

While these 2 goals are OK, what about the guy who has NO intent of
competing on a global level? I have been mired in Advance for 18 years,
and at 62 I do not try to kid myself that it will get much better. I do
not have the time or resources, or interest, to burn 2 or 3 gallons of
fuel a week. I enjoy the "fight", but the opportunity to get together for
a weekend with like minded individuals and have a good time is my primary
interest. 

AMA has established a good system for advancement, and teaching the
needed skills with the current 4 tier system. It is up to the individual
who reaches the top of the Masters to decide if he WANTS to make the next
step. If I were at that level, I may hold out for a National Champion
ship too. It would be interesting to know just how many of the current
FAI pilots, at the NATS, had not won the Masters at some point. My guess
would be that at least the top 20 have achieved that goal prior to moving
up the FAI.

Fred has the right idea here. Is there anyone on this list that would
argue with these two goals?

There should be 2 primary goals

Promotion of Pattern as a competitive event

Preparation of pilots for international competition.

In a nutshell...
Build the team for the F3A World championship.

You can't have a teem without competitors... so we have to attract people
to participate.

You can't prepare the team for the international event if you don't work
to teach the rules of... and skills needed for... the event.
