Just tooling around with my Angel S 50 EVO. I should have an Osiris

it until late March.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>I'm having enough trouble with the proposed schedule.
After a fair amount of practice, I just now have the quality level up to
what most would call a bad round. There's not much time left either. It's
getting dark before 7:00 PM around here...<br>

> Just to be clear…they suck to fly too. At least with the Figure M it’s
centered so both the pilot and the judge can see what’s happening. On the
turn-around’s it’s more of a crap shoot depending on the lighting and
background as to whether or not you can really tell what the plane is
doing. Yeah, you can get away with some stuff, but more often you just end
up in a bad position for the next maneuver.<br>

maneuvers like the half loop with two opposite full rolls integrated from

sequence is a disaster. 1 1/2 reverse cuban with a whole bunch of crap in
it followed by an end box inverted half cuban eight = a mess. Also, a snap
followed by a 4/8 opposite AND a snap with a 4 pt opposite in the same
sequence. What were they thinking? No one could have ever actually flown
that mess before putting it on paper.<br>

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.<br>

> 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.<br>

Committee has a lot to do with it. The trick now is to keep the class
transitions and difficulty levels the same as they are now. The quickest
way to lose a new Sportsman pilot is to make Intermediate too big of a jump
in difficulty level.<br>

> It has to be a 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.<br>

> 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.<br>

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.<br>
