<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

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>
