Anthony, <BR>
Please don't think of it as a "handicap".<BR>
Think of it as a well...let's call it what it is.<BR>
A "Correction Factor".<BR>
I can see this process causing a lot of changes.<BR>
How 'bout the monthly magazine's name becomming "The NSRCA Correction Factor"?!?<BR>
This is only the tip of the iceberg (get it...iceberg...lol)<BR>

<DIV>John,</DIV>
<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 Wortkoetter <twortkoetter@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV>

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>
