<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I don't see the necessity for such a proposal... All the
people you are competing with in your region (hence breaking the NSRCA up into
districts) are dealing with the same problem. It would be a net zero change in
the results, just allowing you to feel better about yourself because you got
better scores... to quote the Godfather... "After all, we are not communists..."
While we're at it let's just change the name of the sport to
Soccer...</FONT></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

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>
