[NSRCA-discussion] Rules change proposal

[Tim Wortkoetter]

I think it should also apply to people who have two kids under the age of 3.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Rules change proposal

 I have been impressed by the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship in the NSRCA since returning to pattern.
I feel though that there has been an oversight in the rules that I think now could be corrected.
I just got in from flying my Focus II for the first time since last October.
It (I) was terrible!  The long winter layoffs here in the northern climes imposes a real hardship on pattern pilots living here.
To be fair I would like to propose an adjustment to the maneuver k-factors based on the annual mean temperature and 
extreme lows (I want to leave out highs) of where one lives.  
For example my lowest k-factor would be 10 for landing and takeoff and then go up from there according to degree of difficulty of
maneuver.  In some cases I can see 20+ easily.
Folks like Derek, Ron Davies, Chris Fitzsimmons living in California would have highest k-factors of 1...who knows...maybe even fractional or minus.  These k-factors would be assigned by pilot and voted on only by members that have at least 24" of snow each year.
What do you all think?
I want to be fair.
JLK
