<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I made that movie of the 71 RCWC event and I remember all the “spectators” and young folks that were there “marveling” at the planes and the contestants, talking with them,
guys like Ron Chidgey, Whitley, Kraft and many others from around the world….THIS IMPRESSED MANY YOUTH THAT WERE THERE….in fact one of those youth is our district 3 VP, Mark Radcliff who to this day credits that event for launching him into RC and eventually
competition…what better an example of what seems to be missing at contests today is PR, inviting the public, making the sport more visible and understandable….getting out to the community by the club members who are putting on the event….certainly not an easy
task but just a thought from this old retired “turn around pattern lover”…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I will address the “turnaround sucks” thought from my perspective. Way back when I had given up on ballistic pattern. Did not do anything for me anymore.
Then we got turnaround and I got back into it. Why and what was the result of turnaround? First of all turnaround challenged your flying skills and over time it has elevated the skills of all the participants. There was a youtube video going around
of the world championships in Doylestown PA back in the 71 I think that most probably watched. Old time planes and maneuvers that we now do in Intermediate. The first few F3A sequenced in turnaround were about what the advanced guys are flying today.
Had we stuck with ballistic pattern do now know where we would be today but the one thing I am confident of is that the cost would still be high because as was pointed out by Dave an email are two ago people strive to get the best equipment available.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Yeah people are flying SPA and having fun. But look at the ages of the contestants and guess what?? Same as turnaround folks. Old guys reliving their
youth. Nothing wrong with that but it’s not going to attract youth of today.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

membership that it would be nice for the NSRCA to define a non-rulebook pattern entry level event that a CD could offer if they so decided. This would be a non-turnaround “old-school” type of pattern that any club flyer could do and yet still be challenged
by. It will gi</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"inherit","serif";color:#1D2129">ve the CD the opportunity to grab some of the “hot dog” type sport flyers at his club, and maybe some old time pattern pilots, and hand them a maneuver/downgrade
sheet and say “come on out to the pattern contest next weekend and see what you can do!” Who knows, if he can get three or four club flyers to come out maybe some will think, “Hey, this is fun! I could learn that Sportsman pattern” Worst case it will get some
more club flyers to participate in local events which always makes it easier to “sell” a pattern contest to the local club officers! So, dust off those older pattern planes and those sport planes and come out and have some fun! Look on the NSRCA website under
the Sequence tab for the maneuver list and descriptions.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#1D2129"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
