&nbsp;<br>
I've been in contact with Jeff Bellinger, the president of the Wenatchee
club...<br>
We can have a contest at their site anywhere from late May to early June.<br>
June 13-14 is scheduled for Molalla.&nbsp; That leaves Late May or the first
weekend in<br>
June.<br>
Ok, here's the lowdown on using their site.&nbsp; Since this contest would not
be a Wenatchee<br>
club activity, we would have to pay a rental fee for the use of their
site.&nbsp; The fee for two days<br>
is $300.&nbsp; That means we would have to get enough flyers to not only pay
that fee, but pay<br>
for awards, scoring costs, etc....&nbsp; Which brings the total to around
$350.&nbsp; As long as we have <br>
enough entries, this wouldn't be a problem.&nbsp; You do the math...&nbsp; it
would take around $25 for entry<br>
for 15 pilots to pay for the fee.&nbsp; I'd hate to get into the situation that
we schedule a contest there<br>
then only have 8 pilots show up.&nbsp; I need a consensus of what all of you
want to do.&nbsp; This is a very<br>
nice flying site and Jeff tells me that he and a few of the club members want
to fly in this contest.<br>
He plans on getting his CD license.&nbsp; Then he could hold the contest at
that site and it would be a club<br>
activity and the site use fee would be waved.&nbsp; Jeff also indicated that
the club would like to keep holding<br>
contests there for years to come.&nbsp; This is somewhat like what has happened
at Redmond.&nbsp; We held one<br>
contest there and was immediately invited to continue with contests
there.&nbsp; This could be a good thing.<br>
As you may or may not know, we have lost our normally first contest at Sumner,
Wa.&nbsp; They have lost use<br>
of that flying site.&nbsp; This is a good opportunity to get another
contest.&nbsp; However, we need to support<br>
this idea if it is to work.&nbsp;<br>
The wenatchee site has RV sites available for $15/day, including water and
power.<br>
Dry camping is available for $5/day<br>
Send me your thoughts and we'll see what everyone wants to do...&nbsp; Also, we
need to decide on<br>
which weekend to hold the contest.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Thanks <br>

&gt; Hey Jim and Scott,<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Any further thoughts about having a pattern meet in Wenatchee in <br>
&gt; 2009 ? We briefly exchanged e-mails this past fall on this subject <br>
&gt; and you and or Scott (since he is a member of the club) were going to <br>
&gt; talk to the club officials about it. Since 2009 is just around the <br>
&gt; corner and schedules are going to start being set, maybe we should <br>
&gt; start looking into this some if we want to do it. I still think it <br>
&gt; is a good idea, because they have a beautiful facility and since it is <br>
&gt; certainly located in Washington, in wouldn't be too long a trip for <br>
&gt; the Oregon guys, the Spokane guys, and possibly even some of the <br>
&gt; Canadian guys. And I would be willing to do what is needed to <br>
&gt; organize and conduct it. Just let me know.<br>

&gt; &gt; put up some clean flights with well-positioned geometry. I will not <br>
&gt; &gt; be doing<br>
&gt; &gt; as well in masters. Oh well, it will be challenging requiring a <br>
&gt; &gt; higher level<br>
&gt; &gt; of concentration. It's a nice schedule, flows well with some rally <br>
&gt; &gt; nice<br>
&gt; &gt; maneuvers and easy to fly, just don't rudder the wrong way on the <br>

&gt; &gt; positioning and<br>
&gt; &gt; appropriate sizing of the maneuvers is more critical than advanced.<br>

of the<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; 'Poor<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; Mans Soft Mount' I am using in my Option-120 rev-C airplane.
I now<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; have a<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; season of trouble free service with it. The grommets are 40
dr and <br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; the<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; spacers are probably a little shorter than what is shown on
the<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; drawing. The<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; grommets need to be pinched a little to prevent any relative <br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; movement<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; which<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; wares the rubber (actually neoprene). The rev-B airplane
initially<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; used a<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; Dave Brown mount attached with 4 grommets without a nose ring
<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; support.<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; Is anyone out there?<br>
