so there’s 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></P>

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></P>

has to be a cycle. Our area (D4) use to be a hotbed for pattern 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

<P class=MsoNormal>It'll be interesting to see what happens next. The survival
of our 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></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>It appears that the number of competitors is down in the
southeast. I was stunned to see only 12 competitors at the O.J. Stillman
contest in Jacksonville just over a week ago. That contest normally has
numbers in the high 20s - low 30s. The Huntsville 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></P></DIV>
