[NSRCA-discussion] Rules change proposal

[JShulman]

John,

How about, instead of making the patterns available at the end of the
previous year, they are made available two days before the Nats? This will
give everyone the same amount of time to practice. Then all the K-Factors
can stay the same and not penalize the score keepers... ;)

Regards,
Jason

  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.
