[NSRCA-discussion] 2nd Annual NEVRC Pattern Contest 5/31- 6/1/08

[John Pavlick]

That's great! Just make sure you have enough batteries to make it through 4 rounds. An old friend of mine showed up at the first D1 contest flying a small electric. It was his first contest and we had some serious wind but he took home third place in Sportsman. Sportsman is anybodies game. Despite what some people say you DON'T NEED A 2-METER AIRPLANE to win in Sportsman. You need something much more important: piloting ability. In fact, you need that in ALL the classes. <VBG>

  My son spent some time this past weekend practicing the Sportsman pattern with the Vanquish. He was doing pretty well with it. Handled the wind surprisingly well. We might show up at a local contest flying it. It is about the size you describe. 4S 3300 pack.
