[NSRCA-discussion] Team Fund raising Clinics!!!

[Ron Hansen]

I like Larry's idea but if some riches want to occupy all or most of the
trainers time or want more one on one I'm sure Mark and the gang could
accommodate such a situation if the team was going to make a reasonable
profit.

My initial reaction is that $1,000 per pilot will most likely eliminate most
of those that really need training and assistance, meaning lower classman.
Lower classman are struggling with $$$ already.

 

The possible win-win-win is to make it worth the Instructor Time and a value
to the trainee time with the additional intent of a tool to help grow
pattern.

 

Dealing with the math and understanding the one on one time, I would propose
this. Similar to full scall flight training:

 

Ground School (Class Room) - Minimum 10 people (Trainees can travel to a
selected location) - $125 per Pilot

Flight Training - $25 per flight per person with their caller of choice
(Instructor should not be calling)

 

Net would be a minum of $1,250, plus Flight training $$$.

 

It will require twice as many weekends, but I bet you get more takers and
generate more funds for the team.

 

Hell, I would even pay this if it was Mark as the trainer. But anybody
flying Masters/FAI could be a trainer.

 

Have a team pilot attend and sell autographed Team items/pictures and raffle
tickets...

Also, would people be willing to travel "Contest distance" to attend?  I.e.
reasonable half day drive and plan to stay overnight?

Jon, I think with Andrew in Utah, a California stop is almost assured.

1k per person sounds dear
how about 1k for up to 2 or maybe 750 for the two days per person with a
minimum of 4 people in attendance(to make the visit worthwhile mixing some
individual as well as group training)
I would be in if they make a visit to our area

Hey All,

One of the idea's we (Team USA) have been kicking around as a possible fund
raiser is to pimp out the team's time and expertise in the form of some
personal flying clinics.

The idea would be for one of the team members to spend a FULL weekend with
no more than 2-4 pilots and provide a lot of specific coaching and help on
whatever topics they need help with.  We envision spending time on

Trimming & setup
CG / Thrust alignment / Incidence
Throw rates, snap setups, expo, mixing
Fundamentals
Positioning
Wind Corrections
Rolling / looping / good lines

Integrated maneuvers
Overall presentation
Complex manuevers (Rollers, etc)
Even 3D stuff if interested.

The thought would be to cater the days to whatever level the interested
pilot wants.  Expectation would be to get 8-10 flights per person per day
(or more).  I.e. A LOT OF FLYING.

Cost, well, we're going to lob out $1000 per person.  Again, this intended
to be a fund raiser for the team in addition to providing value to the
purchaser.

If there is interest - we need to start lining up interested people and then
finding suitable locations to meet.  We have team members in FL, VA and UT
so a lot of the country is covered.  With enough interest we can do this
almost anywhere.

Give me an idea of interest level, and if not for $1000... how much would
you be willing to pay for two full days of coaching from one of these guys.
Reach out to me on list or off.
