<DIV>I would like to backup what Jon said here. This was the best event I have attended since being in Pattern, bar none. You can see all these guys while <SPAN class=correction id="">attending</SPAN> the <SPAN class=correction id="">Nats</SPAN> but they are busy taking care of of business then and can't take this kind of time with you. They had someone in <SPAN class=correction id="">attendance</SPAN> for any type of problem you could have. I think anyone that missed it missed something very worthwhile. THANKS again to all that help to put this on.</DIV>

<DIV>Gary Courtney and I from Huntsville, <SPAN class=correction id="">AL</SPAN> attended this, 1st of it's kind, event with about 36 other pilots this weekend at the Coastal <SPAN class=correction id="">Aero</SPAN> Modelers Club in <SPAN class=correction id="">Loris</SPAN>, SC. I cannot say enough good about this fantastic opportunity, developed by Dave <SPAN class=correction id="">Guerin</SPAN>, championed by Rusty Dose, and <SPAN class=correction id="">CD'd</SPAN> by Buff Miller. Where else could you have hands on help from the likes of Don <SPAN class=correction id="">Sczur</SPAN>, Dave Lockhart, Troy Newman, Arch Stafford, Dean Pappas, and others whose names aren't coming to me at 11:30PM after a 10 hour drive? Saturday was totally given to pilots from Sportsman on up thru <SPAN class=correction id="">FAI</SPAN> to do anything they needed to do, including classroom sessions, Q & A, in flight trimming help, setup, engine help, coaching and detailed, written critiques of flights. Nothing was out of bounds, and they did anything we asked, gladly. These guys gave up a weekend to help us. What a great thing to do!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We had a two round contest on Sunday (Dave Lockhart was first, Don <SPAN class=correction id="">Sczur</SPAN> second, and Troy 3rd in <SPAN class=correction id="">FAI</SPAN>), by the best judges around, and then, the clinic restarted for those who could stick around, by popular demand. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I sincerely hope this becomes a regular event in various parts of the country. One brand new <SPAN class=correction id="">Sportman</SPAN> pilot said that if he had known the pattern community was like this, he would have started pattern flying a long time ago. I had a great time, and got a lot out of it, including putting a lot of faces to names I had heard of for a long time. You can read <SPAN class=correction id="">alot</SPAN> about trimming and setup, but now I know why certain things are done. All of the other attendees also had a great time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks to all of those who helped formulate and put on this great event! I'm <SPAN class=correction id="">lookingforward</SPAN> to the next one!</DIV>
