and repetitious. All the airplanes look the same. The casual observer has no

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

color:black'>Most RC pilots don't understand pattern and don't want to look
bad. It's easy to flippity-flop all over the sky, but disciplined flying is
tough. No one has ever required them to fly a straight line parallel to the
runway. Anything other than a loop or roll is alien. Humpty's, Top-Hats,
Figure M, Cobra…you might as well talk Swahili. If NSRCA is going to
address falling membership they need to educate the RC community at the ground
level. At the Peoria RC Modelers we are trying hard to promote pattern. Most
exciting, however, is a young man from <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">China</st1:place></st1:country-region> (Jack Li) who joined our
club. Jack is 16 and practiced pattern in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">China</st1:place></st1:country-region>. This year he competed in
"Intermediate" at <st1:place w:st="on">Hoffman Estates</st1:place>
and won first place. His subsequent visit to the NATS resulted in an
Intermediate 2<sup>nd</sup> place. Next year he will be competing at the
"Masters" level. Our club is taking a new look at Pattern and
beginning to wake up. A recent club "Mini Pattern" event had 10
competitors. Hopefully, we will build on this and get more people into serious
competition, but we really feel that education and emphasis on the Sportsman
sequence is the key to bringing in new blood. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
