[NSRCA-discussion] Pattern Primer

[J N Hiller]

The Power Point Presentations and Maneuver Descriptions; available on the
NSRCA site under Sequences are excellent aids for someone without a mentor.
In writing an introduction to pattern I’ve referred the reader to the NSRCA
nearly a dozen times, with no more than a mention of judging.
The NSRCA has come a long way in 40 years and is to be commended.
Jim

I suspect one of the most practical things to show the new fliers to pattern
is the box and center the maneuvers. It was the Nats before that was every
pointed out to me by Don Lowe and I have thanked him in my mind repeatedly
every since. With no coach I had no clue how poorly I was centering my
maneuvers until made the obvious observation that you fly good maneuvers but
poorly presented. Instantly my scores improved. Beginning pilots may not
have coaches either so to make that point to them goes along way to them
having a good showing which I feel helps hook them to want more.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Pattern Primer

Hello,

We are planning a Pattern Primer here in D8 and I was looking for any input
and advice from this group. Please let me know things that have worked well
in your districts and any recommendations you can provide. Also, if you have
any material you are willing to share it would be appreciated, fliers,
written tutorials, etc.

We are planning on holding a one day event with some guided practice and
then a short Sportsman only contest maybe 3 or 4 rounds depending on how
many pilots we can attract,

Thanks!

--Gordon
