<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Well, I had around 200 flights this year.. Not including foamies.. Didn't take my gliders out to the slope, didn't finish my Imac plane. Did however finish my 3d plane just recently.. I also happened to throw in 10 pattern contests including the nats. <br>Ummm. Well, edited 12 issues of the Kfactor (wishing I could get more pics and articles from everyone(hint hint), and bought a few new pattern planes. I focused fully on pattern this year and it paid off pretty well. I won the "pattern animal of the year" award here in D7.. I won District Champion in Masters. And 7th at the Nats.. <br>Nats, yeah, I went to my first one.. What an experience that was.. I had so much fun meeting everyone. Still can't believe I made the finals at my first nats.. Can't wait to go again.. Hopefully the economy will pick up so I can.. If you haven't gone to the nats, it's a great
experience. I highly recommend you try it.. Come over and hang out with the D7 crew for the most fun!!!!!!!!!<img src="http://mail.yimg.com/a/i/mesg/tsmileys2/04.gif"><br><br>What a great year it was!!<br><br><div><strong><em><font color="#0000bf" face="comic sans ms" size="3">Chris </font></em></strong></div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div><br><br>--- On <b>Sat, 11/29/08, J N Hiller <i><jnhiller@earthlink.net></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">From: J N Hiller <jnhiller@earthlink.net><br>Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] 2008 Season wrap-up<br>To: "General pattern discussion" <nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org><br>Date: Saturday, November 29, 2008, 5:11 PM<br><br><div id="yiv1254840804">

Yes the list has been slow. I don't keep records but I think I attended 4 –
pattern, 1- soaring and 1- scale contest this past season.</span></font></span></p>

guessing I flew my last flight for 2008 today; it’s just getting too cold here
in New England ! So barring a warm spell,
I ended with 404 flights since April 17<sup>th</sup>. Contests were a
little light with three district meets and the Nat’s. Electrics worked
very well for me with battery cost currently at $2.91 per flight.</span></font><font color="black" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"></span></font></p>
