Jump right
in Tim. I had flown pattern about a year when I volunteered. 

The view
from the bottom is much more interesting and gives us seasoned pattern fliers
insight as to the kind of assistance needed. The answers are easy, it’s the questions
that are hard and some of us more seasoned fliers don't remember that far back.

Thanks for
your kind words.    If someone more qualified doesn't come forth by
the end of the year, then I will seriously consider the opportunity.

Tim,

Here are my thoughts on your points:

1.) I don't see this as an issue, you can
do a better job connecting with new pattern pilots than the experienced guys
can, the future is the new pilots and you are in a better position to attract
them. You can always get experienced guys to review your technical
contributions or write input for your articles. The other thing to remember is
a lot of guys talk like they know all the technical details but many are faking
it! Same thing happens at work every day.

2.) Everyone starts at the bottom and
advances, your a good pilot and have advanced a lot sense you started flying pattern.

3.) You will learn the judging details and
a lot of judging is just paying attention, I think the number one issue is keep
your yes on the airplane, I have gotten away with a lot over the years!

4.) This is a problem, others will help. I
will for sure but you are right, it requires some time.

I truly don't see you as being any less
qualified than anyone else, besides you need to write an article about your
family operation, its pretty cool to see dad and the boys at the contests!

Jump in, we will help you!

I have several concerns about accepting the
responsibility of this position,  but support from D8 pilots is certainly
not one of them.     Never met a nicer bunch of people.   I'm
worried about the following:

1) my very
limited knowledge about the tech side of the hobby (electricity is my achilles
heel; absolutely brain dead about this type of power).

2) my
extremely limited flying skills (the stats speak for themselves.  I'm the
worst pilot in D8).

3) do not
know much about the judging side of things

4) time
commitment (cannot make it to all the meets)

Understand
that I can get help for some of these, but still these are fairly significant
concerns.  I've always admired the knowledge that Gordon and Rex had on a
myriad of subjects.   About all I can do if someone has a question is get
them in contact with a more experienced pilot.   It would seem to me that
one of the more seasoned and knowledgeable pilots would be a more appropriate
choice for district VP.

>From
writing for Model Aviation I can say what Rex said "I think it would be
good to have someone that's not in Masters or FAI in the position." is very true. Many, dare I
say, senior pattern pilots have told me the same thing. The group I
speak of understands talking about really expensive equipment or
their - well thought out - opinions does nothing to attract new people. I am
finding Pattern just needs to be it's own thing. We need to let other SIG's
do their thing and just concentrate on making pattern a enjoyable
activity, the rest will take care of itself in time.

I
could of never pulled off a Boise contest without the help and support of the
D8 contingent. Nobody has ever said No to me when I asked for help. We
are truly blessed to fly in the district we fly in.
