[NSRCA-discussion] The most important thing to understand about pattern

[S. McNickle]

I think we need to decide if we're promoting a forum for the most talented and passionate among us, or maintaining a hobby for the rest. 

Too far in either direction costs us participants.

Yes pattern makes most of the Worlds best pilots, but you can't take a pilot and make them a pattern pilot. If there isn't a drive to become better, not the best (that's the 2% of us), you'll only have a casual or short term pattern pilot at best. At my age I know my time is probably limited as far as being competitive or even having a chance at winning big events anymore, but my drive to be better and push myself is still there. So I will continue to learn new F patterns that will drain me every day I practice because I am a Pattern pilot 😁
