[NSRCA-discussion] The most important thing to understand aboutpattern

[Ronald Van Putte]

I agree!  

At 82 and after four eye surgeries, I still hope to beat some poor SOB in the Master class.

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 😁
