[NSRCA-discussion] Fw: Question? F3P competitions.

[Jay Marshall]

Kathy, if you look at http://www.nsrca.us and
http://www.nsrca.us/calendartop/calendar.html you will find lots of info.
Patrick is in the District 2 group and if he follows that link he will find
info on local, or near local, flyers. If he is able to attend on of the two
remaining contests he will see what F3A is all about and meet lots of help.
If he chooses to fly, and you can fly anything in the Sportsman class, then
the patterns he must learn are on the NSRCA site. Contact me off the list
for more info.

Hey Kathy,

  I haven't flown pattern for many years, and only at lower levels then. So
I'm not that familiar with the requirements/rules now. But,,,,,   I do think
I can put you in touch with a couple of guys who can. One of which is a
fellow club member Bob Richards who had a very successful pattern career in
years past. He has returned to to R/C in recent years and he and his son
Matt have competed in IMAC together( pattern competition with giant scale
models) with good success. Bob may still have some good points of contact in
the pattern scene who could help your son Patrick. I'll forward this e-mail
to Bob.

  Also, I am forwarding this to Horizon Hobby Team Member Ryan Smith of
Greensboro NC. Ryan is very active in the pattern scene now and I'm sure he
would be more than willing to offer advice or help to your son. Ryan has
been very successful in pattern, and currently involved on a world team
level that is competing for the USA team now. Another great guy in our sport
who I feel could help you and your son. Hope this helps. If you have any
questions you feel I may help out with, feel free to call me.

Subject: Question?

Mr. Larry Lewis;
I am writing on behalf of my son Patrick Frost age 17. He attends High
School in Greenville, SC. While searching for some information on remote
control flying I found your event "Children's Charity Fly-in" and found your
name. Sir I hope you don't mind me contacting you and I will try to get to
the point of my contacting you. Patrick has become interested in flying F3P.
He flies, electric motor planes and is a good pilot. We are having a very
difficult time finding anyone with any knowledge about pattern flying. We
are very limited because we have never become involved in any type of flying
club. The High School Patrick attends requires what they call a Senior
Project in which the student picks a project to explore and report on at the
end of eight months. My question to you is simply can you help us with a
name or any information on F3P at this point anything and I do mean anything
would be greatly appreciated and highly valued! If he does not come up with
someone to talk to in the next few days he is going to have to choose a
different topic which would be very disapointing. 
I sincerely thank you for your time!
