Ya know, I only flew Saturday when I went to the Signal Seekers contest
this past summer. But I came away thinking that was OK mainly because I
was the only person flying in Sportsman. If it's accepted for us
beginners to fly either Saturday or Sunday then I think we need to get
the word out. I think there are a lot of people interested in trying
pattern, but maybe don't because they are unaware that it OK to fly only
one day. Shoot, I missed the East River contest, because I didn't know it
would be OK to fly only on the second day. Again, I don't care if it
costs me a win. That's not why I go.<br><br>

<dd><font size=2>That sounds good too, for the lower classes. I think the
upper class sequences are too long and demanding for that.....especially
for the electric powered planes. But in the end, if I can come and fly
just one day without people being upset with it, then I'd definitely
attend more contests. I could care less weather or not I win anything. I
just want to fly in front of the judges....and BS with the guys. Of
course, I'd be willing to scribe too if needed or even judge when I learn
how.<br><br>

<dd>At our contests here in D8, the Sportsman pilots fly two sequences
per flight. The take off/landing scores are used twice for
scoring. In essence, they are flying two rounds per flight.
Seems like an easy way to handle two one day contests.... The
pilots can fly either day, or fly both days and get in two contests for
the weekend.... <br>

<dd>So far from this discussion it seems to me that most of the die-hard
flyers (mostly in the upper classes) don't like the idea of a one day
contest. The one day contest would seem to appeal more to someone that
wants to try pattern, ie: someone entering the Sportsman class. Why not
arrange it so that a two-day event will have two one-day contests (maybe
three rounds each day) for just the Sportsman class, and all other
classes will be the standard two-day format.<br>
<dd>
<dd>Just a thought to throw out on the table.<br>

<dd>Kelly,
<dd>Well you're kind of in luck. Most Pattern Primers ARE one-day events.
Since
<dd>you'll be flying in the Sportsman class, you can "compete"
in a Pattern
<dd>Primer (usually only 401 & 402 are flown at a Primer). You'll get
your feet
<dd>wet with a minimum amount of impact on the family. Pattern Primers
are good
<dd>because you get the feel of competition but you also get a lot of
help from
<dd>the experienced pilots. Go to a few of those if you can.<br>
