[NSRCA-dist8] 2009 season

[Dennis]

We could have one now. Just bring your skis.

Just kidding. I am all for extending the season. It is pretty dry here.

Jim and All

Ya, extending the season would be an option.  Down around here, the weather
would be pretty
dicey.  It normally rains the week following the Creswell contest.  Last
year was an exception, but
pretty much for the 7 or 8 years previous to that, it started raining either
some time that week or the
next.  If we could get a contest in the dry parts of the district, it would
work.

Tim, this is Jim I can't speak for Rex but YES anyone not only can attend
the judging seminar but we encourage it. It is very helpful to get a
detailed description of exactly how OUR flights are to be judged. As for
judging another sequence it isn't all that hard after observing a few you
begin to remember them. Most judging in generic; placement, line lengths,
radiuses, and angles.  The hardest part is knowing what the maneuver is
suppose to look like so you can zero a total screw up or recognize maneuver
separation lines or their absence.
As for pattern flying in Idaho and Montana there isn't much. IMAC is big in
Idaho. A Spokane contest at the Barons field is somewhat inconvenient (full
size traffic) but not out of the question. Athol (Farragut St Park) is a
public facility that can be reserved. I still don't have a Deer Park
commitments schedule to shuffle into the D-8 and Canadian schedules. As I
remember there is also a Canadian contest north of Montana that could
include eastern D-8 competitors. If I go to Canada do you think they will
let me come back?
There is a lot of real nice flying weather in September. Do we want to
continue closing the D-8 season in Creswell or extend it into September as
has been done in the past?
Jim

Hi Rex,

I can't work on planes today because of the cold and snow (frozen garage),
so I'm sitting at the computer bugging you by writing a bunch of e-mails
(now you know how my boss feels).   So I have a couple of questions/inputs:

1) Can anyone take the judging  seminar, like me ?     If so does that mean
I can be an  additional judge at meets for the higher ranks even though I
don't know the maneuvers for any class above Sportsman ?

2)  Where is Sandy Oregon ?     I like the idea of another meet in late July
early August

3) Isn't there anyone in Idaho or Montana that fly pattern ?    I don't
know, but if there is,  maybe a meet in eastern Washington (Spokane) or
Northern Idaho (Coeur d'Alene, Atholl) could bring some more participation
from those states.

Hi Gang

I've thrown together a tentative list of events for the 2009 season.
Here's what we have so far:

Feb  6-7-8...    Northwest Hobby Model Expo

* See below

May  16-17..    Dave Armstrong Memorial.  Frys corner, British Coulmbia.

** See below

June  13-14..   Molalla, Or.

July   04-05..   Cities, Washington

*** See below

Aug   ?            Redmond, Ore

Sept  05-06     Creswell, Ore.

In amongst all these dates, we still need to approve some dates for
the following.

* Judging Seminar.    Some of you were wanting to hold this as early as
possible.
The problem is that, with all the new rules changes and the new Masters
Sequence, not
all the necessary information is readily available.  The Power Point
Presentations for the
Masters Should be available soon.  I know that all the rules changes have
been approved,
but haven't as yet seen it all in print.  I'm guessing that everything
should be available
by early spring.

** This periond of time is in question for the contest in Wenatchee.

***  There has been some talk of the possibility of holding a contest in
Sandy, Oregon.
The Molalla crew has been working on that.  They intend to go an fly at that
site to see
if it is suitable for our purposes. If the Sandy contest can be held, it
could be thrown
together at most any time.  This could be a good possiblilty for those who
wish to attend
a contest during the time the NATs are being held in mid July.  We usually
have a long dry
spell during this time as there is 5-6 weeks between the contest at
sTri-Cities and the
contest at Redmond, Ore.  I'd like to get some feedback on this idea.


Rex
