[NSRCA-dist8] Classic Pattern

Wed Feb 19 15:04:04 AKST 2014

Alan has a point. I'm trying to figure out what to say to the guy who wants
to enter with a 40 size 3D plane. Which leads to thinking about how many
people are going to enter.

We will be flying classic at the Boise contest. North to South facing west.
Takeoffs and landings will not be scored because the sun will be in the
BOX. You have to sneak in under it; or do what I do: takeoff and land in
opposite directions.
