[NSRCA-discussion] EDF pattern for 2021; D7 method?

[james woodward]

NSRCA Leadership,

Hope all is well.  To the point:  When was this decision made below?  Did anyone review the District 7 EDF pattern and “local” rules in place, making it a successful class?  

The sequence we are flying is already proven as being; fun, skill-appropriate, 80-90 mm capable on 6S, and perhaps best, is a mix of old-school flying style with off-the-shelf foam jets.  It’s not an arms race (yet) with 6S being the limit. 

Please share some of the decision making and insight into this decision.  Welcome all respectful thought and input.  

Thank You,
Jim W.

>> Guys:
>> You are getting this email because you showed interest last year in flying EDF Jets at a contest.  There has been a change in the pattern we are going to fly this year.  The NSRCA has decided to get involved and promote the flying of EDF's at our contests this year.  As a result, they would like everyone to fly the same pattern, and since the FAI has already published a pattern for EDF, the NSRCA has decided to use that pattern.  Now there are 2 patterns attached to this email, an EDF and a basic.  The EDF is the one we are going to use most of the time, however, if there are pilots that are not familiar with pattern and are not comfortable flying the EDF sequence, we may offer the Basic sequence as well.  But for the first 2 contests in Arizona and my contest in Hemet, we will be offering the EDF sequence for sure.  Please download the EDF sequence and start practicing.  I'm sorry for the short notice on this, but the decision was made just recently.  Any questions, give me a call, and if you can think of anyone else that needs to know, forward them this email.  Thanks and I look forward to seeing everyone in Arizona.
