Jamie,
Don't forget about John Fuqua's Mill Creek Contest here near Crestview, Fl
in Oct. and then there's the D3 championship in Jacksonville in probably
early Dec.

Guys, it appears our pattern sport, at least in D-3 is in a downward path,
and not sure what the fix will be:(. 
 The way it stands now for D-3 we have Prattvilles contest( #2 or 3 for the
year) this weekend with only 13 signed up, a Peach pattern contest in June,
then thats about it for us for 2017 for D-3. Jon L. will try another contest
in Sept. i guess, but i wouldn't put on one either if only 5-8 folks sign
up. Just seems a shame. After the NATs everyone in D-3 retreats and theres
little activity or intrest. Looks to me the NATs needs to be late in the
year and not mid year, if this trend continues. Guess it is what it is, but
think if we all need to put in just a little effort into growing our
District and talking it up. 
Hope to see a lot more folks show up than has signed up for this weekends
contest.

Real Bummer,

Jamie
Prattville, Alabama

I suspect this is a common problem on a much bigger scale NSRCA wide...

Times are changing. I myself can't justify attending a contest anymore.
Wages  lost plus gas, food and lodging and we are talking about over  $1000
easily... and for a $20 plaque with my picture in it... not worth it
anymore. On top of that I have no more pattern planes. They all burned up on
a house fire. 
Now I've been flying "evil" drones in competition. I can stuff all up in a
suitcase and travel easily. Plus there is cash prizes at all large contests.
Last one I competed the first place winner  got $4000  and I was 4th due to
a mid air which resulted in a broke.n prop... I really enjoyed flying
pattern and will certainly miss it...
