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>

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> <br>
<dd>Just a thought to throw out on the table.<br>

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