[NSRCA-discussion] Alabama Bound

[Phil Spelt]

Well, Guys,

I was preparing a response to Ron Van Putte, but 
it appears this is not the venue for 
that.  Everyone is free to choose with whom to 
associate, and while we in SPA are sorry to have 
lost the people who have chosen not to fly with 
us, that was/is their choice.  If you check with 
Jason Shulman, you might find a different perspective.

I won't go into the many discussions I have had 
with fellow SPAers about the direction of AMA 
pattern, as directed by the NSRCA -- but they are 
frequent, and those of us having them choose not 
to fly AMA pattern - but we don't publicly 
criticize it, either.  I judged several rounds at 
an AMA meet last season, and while I really like 
the turn around part, the judging reinforced my decision to fly SPA, only.

BTW, if anyone is interested in some 2-meter 
stuff (engines and airframes) you can email me 
privately...it would be great stuff @ a 
reasonable price for entry into 2-meter pattern, and up through Advanced.
