Columbus Ron

The Columbus Aeros club in Grove City, OH will be hosting a judging clinic on Sat. April 20th starting at 9 am. Below is the agenda. Pilots not interested in the judging video and subsequent discussions can meet at the field any time after 10:30. The weather is looking promising. I will provide directions to the church where the video and discussion will be held in a day or two.

Agenda:

1. 9 – 9:30 am Watch judging video
2. 9:30 – 10:00 am – General Pattern Discussion
3. 10 – 10:30 am – Travel to field
4. 10:30 - 5 pm – Demonstration flights, practice judging & open practice

We plan to fly each class twice. The first flight for each class will be flown by a pilot in a higher class to demonstrate how each schedule should be flown. The second flight for each class will be flown by someone in the appropriate class and that flight will be judged by a highly experienced judge and scores and commentary given out loud to provide real time feedback to both student judges and pilots. The purpose of the second flights will be to calibrate your eyes to what the “experts� see. After those flights we will open the field to practice flights and coaching. We plan to let the sportsman go first then everyone is on their own.

No food will be provided so pack a lunch.

Let me know if you plan to attend.

Hope you can make it.

Thanks

Glad you can make it.

We are having the classroom work at a large church/school.

Once I get a map of the campus I'll post it here.

Thanks

Second thoughts

Shouldn't need to much to get ready...hopefully can pull it all off Friday night and be ready to fly on Saturday.

Now you're talking.

No time like the present.

The first contest is in early May which leaves little time.

Look forward to seeing you.

The judging clinic classroom session will be held at the Grove City Church of Nazarene located at 4770 Hover Rd, Grove City, OH 43123.

To get to the church take exit 100 (Stringtown Rd.) off of I-71. Head West on Stringtown Rd about 1 mile to Hoover Rd. Turn left on Hoover Rd. The church is about 1 mile on your left. There are 3 entrances to the church/school. Take the second entrance and head straight back. Look for pattern competition signs to help guide your way.

The classroom session starts at 9 am try not to be late because we want to get to the field as soon as possible.

Also attached is a flyer to the pattern contest showing how to get to the field if you plan to skip the classroom session.
