[NSRCA-discussion] Rules change proposal

[Pete Cosky]

I'm in...on both counts. Cold winters and an anklebiter at home....I'd say it's a GREAT idea.

  Anthony, 
  Please don't think of it as a "handicap".
  Think of it as a well...let's call it what it is.
  A "Correction Factor".
  I can see this process causing a lot of changes.
  How 'bout the monthly magazine's name becomming "The NSRCA Correction Factor"?!?
  This is only the tip of the iceberg (get it...iceberg...lol)

    John,
    You are a fricking genius. As a snow belt sufferer living less than 90 miles from Buffalo New York, I could use the "handicap" to adjust for our nearly 8 month long winter and subsequent RC inactivity.

      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
