[NSRCA-discussion] The real rason Pattern flyers are seen asElitists...

[Michael Wickizer]

Well, I flew in 2 Sportsman contests this last fall, and I am flying some 
pretty nice and proven capable 2m birds that have been passed down to 
me(passed up to me?) by my son.  I won last place in both outings.  I have 
been beat by J-3 Cubs, P-51's and a real ugly Ugly Stick, all flown by by 
better pilots and no I didn't crash even once.

The information on this list from the experienced pilots is invaluable 
that's probably the reason I read more than I post. I have met many of the 
people on this list in person and haven't found a snob yet.

Mike
