<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> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <STYLE type=text/css><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></STYLE> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif">I think it should also apply to people who have two kids under the age of 3. <BR><BR>Tim Wortkoetter<BR><BR> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif">----- Original Message ----<BR>From: John Konneker <jlkonn@hotmail.com><BR>To: Discussion List <nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org><BR>Sent:

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> <HR SIZE=1> Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
