<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Interesting indeed - a local club is
considering holding a "ole fashion" pattern contest this fall. The plan is to
fly pre-turnaround pattern. Not sure exactly what the rules will be - but not
SPA, as the intent is to allow '70's - '80's airplanes with piped engines &
retracts (one member mentioned a Brushfire with piped Jett 90). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm very comfortable with pattern as it is -
however, there is a gap between current pattern and SPA that many seem
interested in.</FONT></DIV>

mentioned recently to some locals that I may hold a comp similar to
your SPA stuff. I considered just allowing 60 size models as a max, never mind
all the vintage rules etc.....I was SWAMPED with interest. There were all

possible entries!!!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

smaller airplanes among a lot of folks. I sure am enjoying the 90 size
