important to the entrance/development of new pattern fliers. There has
been a Sequence Committee in one form or another for most cycles since about
1988 (I know in that one I helped pen the Expert T/A Class and the “1990

no confusion, I’m complimenting and crediting the PREVIOUS Sequence
Committee that created the schedules we’ve been flying for the past few
years. I’m on the current committee and hope that the schedules that will
serve pattern in the next few years do so as well as the schedules we’ve
been flying. Just my opinion, but I’ve watched the trends for a couple
decades now and you can really harm the sport, particularly Sportsman and
Intermediate with schedules that are way out of whack with the skill set at
those levels. The increased activity level we’re seeing in and around D4
in Sportsman through Advanced are directly related to the success of those
schedules. I remember Troy Newman, Joe Lachowski, and possibly Dave Lockhart
being on that committee as well as others and they’re to be commended for
getting us back on track.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D'>Verne, I
couldn’t agree more. The schedule committee has done a fabulous job
but I think we as a group have to stay very vigilant that we maintain a common
“Gap” and progression between the classes. That does NOT mean
we can’t or shouldn’t keep up with the times. But the
balance is very important and I think we currently have that (if by luck or
design I don’t know or care). My son is going to try and jump
from Sportsman to intermediate in the spring and it will be a HUGE one for
him. BUT… we went out to fly the maneuvers last week in stages and
while he can’t put together the whole sequence yet, I don’t think
he scared himself making the attempt. A few of the maneuvers had
some pucker factor… the double immelman was the first time he had ever
pushed through an outside half loop, but since you immediately roll to an
upright and comfortable orientation, he immediately relaxed and after 2 or 3
times I could tell it won’t be a problem.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

cycle. Our area (D4) use to be a hotbed for pattern in the
80’s but through the 90’s and aught’s we saw a very steady
decline in participation. But the last 3-4 years has seen a resurgence of
pattern activity and a host of new participants. We still have a
large masters class of long time competitors, but our contests now have a solid
contingent of Sportsman and Intermediates showing up to many contests.
Our district champs had 10 in Advanced… A combination of long
time old blood, some new advancements from Intermediate, and some former
participants that are coming back to the scene.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

newsletter is tied directly to the number of advertisers. If those who
sell products related to our hobby don't think it is profitable to continue
advertising in the K-Factor, our newsletter will founder. I'm sure the
poor economy is part of the problem. As the owner of a small hobby shop,
I can tell you that my sales this year will be about half of what they were 5-7
years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

I was stunned to see only 12 competitors at the O.J. Stillman contest in <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jacksonville</st1:place></st1:City> just over a
week ago. That contest normally has numbers in the high 20s - low 30s.
The <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Huntsville</st1:place></st1:City>
contest in September used to be a major contest, but there were so few
contestants that we were either flying, calling or judging all the time.
I know that numbers like that will cause clubs to think twice about
hosting another contest. After a hiatus of almost ten years, my club, the
Eglin Aero Modellers, is hosting a contest in just over a week. I hope
the number of competitors is sufficiently high, because, if they are, I'm sure
we will continue hosting the contest. If not, there won't be another
contest.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

you are a competitor and attempting to abide by the rules you may have a
completly different perspective. For that reason I think the rules in place
are well thought out and I think Derek is correct in pointing it out. MIke<br>
