style='font-size:12.0pt'> I haven't flown pattern for many years, and
only at lower levels then. So I'm not that familiar with the
requirements/rules now. But,,,,, I do think I can put you in touch
with a couple of guys who can. One of which is a fellow club member<em><i><font

successful pattern career in years past. He has returned to to R/C in
recent years and he and his son Matt have competed in IMAC together(
pattern competition with giant scale models) with good success. Bob may
still have some good points of contact in the pattern scene who could
help your son Patrick. I'll forward this e-mail to Bob.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

help to your son. Ryan has been very successful in pattern, and currently
involved on a world team level that is competing for the <st1:country-region

I am writing on behalf of my son Patrick Frost age 17. He attends High
School in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Greenville</st1:City>, <st1:State
w:st="on">SC.</st1:State></st1:place> While searching for some information
on remote control flying I found your event "Children's Charity
Fly-in" and found your name. Sir I hope you don't mind me contacting
you and I will try to get to the point of my contacting you. Patrick has
become interested in flying F3P. He flies, electric motor planes and is a
good pilot. We are having a very difficult time finding anyone with any
knowledge about pattern flying. We are very limited because we have never
become involved in any type of flying club. The High School Patrick attends
requires what they call a Senior Project in which the student picks a
project to explore and report on at the end of eight months. My question to
you is simply can you help us with a name or any information on F3P at this
point anything and I do mean anything would be greatly appreciated and
highly valued! If he does not come up with someone to talk to in the next
few days he is going to have to choose a different topic which would be
very disapointing. <br>
I sincerely thank you for your time!<br>
