point... Will he become a pattern pilot, most probably not, but he's seen how a
pattern pilot flies. But he has no reason to think that pattern pilots are
better, elitists, snobs... whatever, than the average pilot. And thankfully, all
the pattern guys at the club, would be willing to do the same
thing.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

the "forced move-up", who wants to be heckled by their peers as being a

challenge (the next class). Will there be some that are looking for more wood
for the wall, sure, but they better have thick skin...lol.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

John. Ryan and I were talking about this over building of a pattern plane. Its
not for everyone. I liked all your points too, and have done all but #4 myself
(as an official instructor, but have helped anyone that has asked, or too
scared to ask). </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=990052205-25082007>Just the
other day Dave and I were out practicing and a guy we hadn't seen before came
out to the field. He watched part of my flight and when we landed he was about
halfway back to his car. We exchanged hello's, and he told us that he was
going to leave after watching me fly. We asked why, and he said he was
intimidated... So I did everything I could to make him feel comfortable, and
he stayed and we chatted about everything aviation (AA pilot). Happy to
say it was the 2nd flight that he broke the prop (he thought he wouldn't make
it 1 flight). But he loved the fact that I did the same thing on take-off that
he was doing, ground looping. So I showed and explained to him the fix
(toe-in) and then it looped once more, then it took-off. He left with a huge
smile on his face and was looking forward to the next time. That was better
than practice that day.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As far as I'm concerned, there is really
nothing "wrong" with what we're doing. I don't think rule changes or easier
schedules or anything like that will lure more people into flying Pattern.
If you just admit that not everyone needs (or wants) to become a Pattern
pilot, you'll be fine. The object is to find the people with good flying
skills and a competitive spirit and expose them to Pattern.
