[NSRCA-dist8] Classic Pattern

[Raymond C. Gauthier]

I'm hoping I have something old hanging in the garage that would fill the
bill.  I know I have a scale French aerobatic airplane, a Dalotel, which is
the right size and pretty much in flyable (wet power) condition.  When I'm
back in town I'll have to dig it out and see how it flies the Novice
pattern.

Ray,

 

Yes. By saying 60 size that pretty much limits you to pre 80's planes. Are
we going to turn away a guy that walks up with a little Osiris? The way it's
written, no we wouldn't turn him away, but I think this is going to be a non
issue or infrequent if at all. . We need to keep this real simple and have
fun.

Does no year restrictions mean any airplane that fits the size and power
guidelines?

Just a quick update. I have had a few question from a couple of CD's in
regards to Classic pattern this year. The bottom line is we do this is to
have fun and we don't want to load this up with a bunch of rules. 

 

Long story short, here are the only criteria. Keep in mind we will likely
tweak this as we go:

 

No year restrictions

 

60 class planes or smaller

 

6 cell maximum for electrics

 

That's it. We will fly two schedules this year which are Novice and Advanced
which can be found here;

At some of our contest we will fly classic Saturday and Sunday in the
mornings due to sun issues (Woodburn, Redmond). At fields like Molalla that
we can fly turnaround by 8:00, we will fly classic on Saturday after
turnaround and it's the discretion of the CD to fly classic on Sunday. My
guess is for those fields we will fly classic on Saturday only to get guys
on the road Sunday.  

 

Also, Gordon has been at it again with a great new feature on the D8 site.
No longer will you have to search in vane for upcoming events to preregister
on the NSRCA calendar. All you will need to do is click on the 2014 schedule
on the D8 site and you will find an info link and a link to the calendar for
preregistration. By the way, it is a great help to the CD"s and Gordon to
preregister to all contest you plan to attend. Again, my thanks to Gordon.
Without him, we wouldn't be where we are.  

 

If you have questions or concerns, email or give me a call.
