<DIV>I have got it!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Once this idea evolves to its logical conclusion we won't have to fly the
patterns at all. We can just enter the height, age, visual acuity, geographic
region of residence, time of birth, marital status, number of children,
occupation, mean temperature of country of origin, distance from the equator
to the fuselage datum line, and mothers maiden name (for verification purposes
only) all into the scoring program and normalize the whole thing. The computer
can tabulate the scores and we can award the trophies at the pilots meeting.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This will allow us to spend the rest of the weekend flying foamies and
working on sequences for the next rules cycle.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Brilliant!</DIV>

the previous year, they are made available two days before the
Nats? This will give everyone the same amount of time to practice. Then
all the K-Factors can stay the same and not penalize the score keepers...

Rules change proposal<BR><BR></FONT></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></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-discussion
