[NSRCA-discussion] Pattern Primer

[Richard Lewis]

May have been mentioned already, if so, pardon me.

Don Ramsey has an article called "max points in sportsman" that is a nice, concise write up with many timeless tips.  It resides on his pattern  page....

I'll try and use different planes (like a 50 size for Sportsman and Intermediate) to do them to show it doesn't take a 2M plane to fly pattern.

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.

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.
