[NSRCA-dist8] Classic Pattern

[alan wellentin]

It looks to me like there are two different things going on here.  There's a run what you brung which would essentially mean pretty much anything 60 size and smaller would compete.  Then there's the "classic pattern".  Honestly, I'm not planning on putting another plane in the air, it's going to be tough enough to keep myself flying and get Nicole flying if she gets motivated, so to me it doesn't really matter, but, I'm afraid if your going to say pretty much anything goes, then, anything needs to go.  If your going to say classic pattern, then, classic pattern it is.

Bob,

Under the laid out guide line, I would say Yes it would be OK, but the intent is to keep it to Old School. To me a 3D ARF of modern design does not fit the "Old School" criteria. This stuff isn't in stone so we can still adjust as we go. Any thoughts from everyone on how to write this is most appreciated. Like Jim, said we don't want to alienate anyone, but we do need some sort of guideline.

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?

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.

>>>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.

>>>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.
