[NSRCA-discussion] YOU DON'T HAVE TO COMPETE TO ENJOY PATTERN

[Matthew Frederick]

Umm, I don't think anyone threated to quit after seeing the Advanced pattern. I said I would quit after Advanced if we adopt the F3A P sequence for Masters. I haven't even looked at the new Advanced pattern yet mainly because if I continue at this rate without throwing a contest here and there I will point out of Advanced before I ever get to fly the new one in competition... and I've only flown Advanced in 3 contests!

  Having read the response of one fellow who threatened to quit after seeing the new  proposed  Advanced sequence ( all sequences look great, IMO), may I respectfully suggest that you continue to practice  and enjoy this great  hobby sport even if you feel that you can't be competitive. I compete very little by choice( was  once a very active UKIE competitor- for two decades) ,but still practice( in most weather conditions) and enjoy pattern as much as anyone I know ( I fly with some very active, die hard flyers who can attest). I'd probably be bored out of my skull if I flew sport again and don't wish to fly anything but pattern aircraft. Try taking a year off and practice the hell out of the new sequence- you might surprise yourself and will definitely  become a better pilot to boot. Please take no offense, just my .02.
