<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>First you meet a number of club
members and get to know them. Then you ask the club members to host a pattern
contest. Finally, when the club members ask for help in learning about pattern,
and knowing I’m no expert but have the brain trust of this discussion group
and good friends, you take a plunge and take on the challenge… I have
also been asked by the club board to do a 15 to 30 minute Power Point presentation
at a club meeting on Pattern. I may try to get a copy of the Judging Seminar
DVD and scale it back for Sportsman…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>For those interested in learning
the Sportsman Sequences and practicing for the contest, starting Saturdays at
1pm March 27<sup>th</sup> through April 24<sup>th</sup>, I will be at the field
to assist and provide training. We will start with the basics and work towards
simulating a contest environment for the last couple of weeks. Bring the plane
you feel most comfortable with. If you don’t have a plane ready, please
attend as there will be plenty to learn in the beginning. The flying part of
the training should not interfere with open flying at the field. I will bring
Lisa’s Tower Hobbies Kaos 40 for demo training flights. See ya at the
field…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the word around. The most Sportsman I have seen entered in a pattern contest is
9 when I attended one </span><span style='color:#1F497D'>in</span><span
