<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hey guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For what it's worth, GMA is shaping up to be a
"Southern Nats", if everyone who says they're coming actually does it. If it's
at all possible, make the drive! We have a fabulous field, and plenty of
hospitality to go around! Looks like we have some truly world class pilots
planning to attend, so it may be worth the drive just to see the level of flying
these guys are capable of. But beware, judging by Ocala, the lower 3 classes is
where all of the action is!! I'm really happy to see pattern actively growing
again!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mike, if you can be there Friday afternoon, we'll
have a sort of informal "this is how you do it" seminar. You won't have to do
this cold. I know how it is at your first contest if you've never flown in one.
I was there not too long ago myself. You're not sure how to call stuff, what the
proper proceedures are, you're not entirely sure how to "call" your manuevers
and whatnot....hey, in my first contest, I was the very first guy to fly, so I
couldn't even watch closely...I just went cold. That was the most intense, yet
one of the most FUN flights of my life!!! Once you get that first one over with,
all of the rest are no different....you just hopefully keep doing it better
=)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm always around if you need anything, just give
me a yell.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS Glad to hear you're still coming down
John!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mike,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I'll be at the GMA contest - I'll give you
a hand if you need it. This will be the first time for me flying
Advanced at a contest but I was in your shoes 3 years ago. The longest
journey starts with the first step. I'm coming from Connecticut (a bit of
a drive) so YOU have NO excuse for not being there! <LOL> If you
can get there for practice on Friday it might help you work out the jitters a
bit. Remember, it's all about "fun with toy airplanes". See you next
week.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Keith - Well, I DO know one guy that will be there, and he
will help me if I ask him to. He won the Sportsman points a few years back
in our district, so having him to coach me would be much better than just
showing up. They are having a clinic on Friday for first timers also. Maybe
you are right. I have to start somewhere and this contest (GMA in
Ballground, GA) is only 45 minutes from my home. <BR><BR>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mike, I strongly suggest entering the
contest. You'll have fun, will have an opportunity to get some excellent
input, and may be surprised that most Sportsman pilots are in the same
boat as you are.</FONT></DIV>
