<DIV>You are a fricking genius. As a snow belt sufferer living less than 90
miles from Buffalo New York, I could use the "handicap" to adjust for our
nearly 8 month long winter and subsequent RC inactivity.<BR><BR><B><I>Tim

I have been impressed by the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship in the
NSRCA since returning to pattern.<BR>I feel though that there has been an
oversight in the rules that I think now could be corrected.<BR>I just got
in from flying my Focus II for the first time since last October.<BR>It
(I) was terrible! The long winter layoffs here in the northern
climes imposes a real hardship on pattern pilots living here.<BR>To be
fair I would like to propose an adjustment to the maneuver k-factors based
on the annual mean temperature and <BR>extreme lows (I want to leave out
highs) of where one lives. <BR>For example my lowest k-factor would
be 10 for landing and takeoff and then go up from there according to
degree of difficulty of<BR>maneuver. In some cases I can see 20+
easily.<BR>Folks like Derek, Ron Davies, Chris Fitzsimmons living in
California would have highest k-factors of 1...who knows...maybe even
fractional or minus. These k-factors would be assigned by pilot and
voted on only by members that have at least 24" of snow each year.<BR>What
do you all think?<BR>I want to be fair.<BR>JLK<BR></DIV></DIV></DIV><BR>
