watching a local practice in the olden days do a slow roll 5 foot off the deck

could learn to do that. This was done right over the middle of the runway
though. Those days are long gone. Sorry to say but the way we fly today
wouldn't have planted the hook for me. I flew full scale at the time and didn't
see any interest until seeing something I couldn't do with my private ship. Had
been flying R/C for at least 8 years at that time.</span></font><font size=2

there are no pattern flyers at your club, then fly pattern. No, most won't be

may take a few months, may take a few years. But once you get 2, it turns into

Having sold advertising(a lot) when I ran a radio station, I can tell you that
the customers need to be constantly resold on a product that is clearly in
their best interests. <br>
This also means selling on the basis that the advertising works, not as charity
support for the NSRCA. Feedback to the advertisers is also key to keeping an
advertiser on-board. We as members need find a way to mention the K-Factor
whenever you buy something and to make sure that you know who is currrently
advertising. <br>

few years ago when I tried to bring up the perception of a known problem in my
mind I was told to be quiet as we are making changes and things will
improve. That was years ago.. How many more years will it
take? I still see a continuing decline with some insisting it is only a
local thing thinking as their area/district is growing so therefore no problem.

As a lot of you know I am the ad manager for the K-Factor.<br>
It is my goal to bring enough advertisers on board to make the K-Factor self <br>
supporting.<br>
I believe that goal is achievable.<br>
I just prepared the invoicing for the July issue and total billings, month <br>
to month, are increasing.<br>
We have a great bunch of advertisers already that have been very supportive <br>
of the NSRCA.<br>
Please support them whenever you can.<br>
I contact potential advertisers all the time.<br>
If you have any you'd like to suggest please let me know.<br>
If you have personal contact with any and think you can get them interested, <br>
by all means talk to them.<br>
Ron Davies is doing a great job as treasurer and reports on the NSRCA <br>
finances every month in his K-Factor column.<br>
Through these reports you can see it's not just members dues that generate <br>
the operating income of the NSRCA.<br>
As an aside I flew the Nats this year.<br>
Derek invited me to the NSRCA board meeting held on Tuesday night.<br>
I had been out of RC since the late '80s and only started pattern again last <br>
year.<br>
I can't tell you how impressed I was with the officers.<br>
Everyone, without exception, has the advancement of pattern in their hearts.<br>
Everyone, without exception, was positive in their attitude.<br>
There were no hidden agendas. <br>
No "us" vs "them".<br>
