[NSRCA-dist8] Classic Pattern

Wed Feb 19 13:09:33 AKST 2014

Pat,
  Just checking, but would that mean that I could use my electric Katanna(SP)? You say it fly at Dusters the other day. I would have to tone the throws down a bit, but it seems to fit your specs?

    A pic of the Dalotel is attached.  Pretty cool eh?

    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.
