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. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Yeah people are flying SPA and having 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!
