[NSRCA-discussion] Why I Fly Pattern

[Michael Cohen]

You know, I warned my wife that she needs to come to the field and to contests to ward off all the groupies that are constantly there hitting on me.  For some reason, she just laughs and very rarely shows up.

I must admit, I joined NSRCA about 2 years before I started competing because of the Buyers Guide.  It was a great source of information on top quality RC equipment.  I started competing due to the prompting of Bob Schofield and Ken Alexander.  I always had an interest in competition but never met anyone that was into it.  Prior to Bob Schofield joining our club, no one in my previous 2 clubs competed in anything.
 
Other than health or finances I don’t think I’ll ever quit.  I fly more now than I did as a sport pilot because I now have a motivation to get my butt to the field even when the weather sucks.  My flying skills were stagnating as I tried to bore holes in the sky as a sport pilot.  I wanted to learn how to fly the plane rather than have the plane fly me.  Competition especially pattern was and is the ticket.  Also by competing you learn an awful lot about how to properly build, trim, program and setup any airplane.  You even learn how to tune and maintain the most advanced engines/motors around.  I’ve learned more about this hobby in my 5 years in pattern than I would have learned in a lifetime otherwise.
 
And to top it all off, the people that I’ve met in pattern are top notch.
