Default RE: The CPA (Classic Pattern Association) and E-power

When the turnaround style of pattern was being phased in1984, as stated in a previous post, some contests allowed entry into two categories. I was flying AMA Expert at the time, and several times entered both AMA Expert and Turnaround class. One contest had a really low turnout, so after flying three practice flights on Friday, we flew 8 rounds of pattern in two days. Flying nineteen times in one weekend was a busier schedule than I kept when PRACTICING!! I'm glad I had a good callerit was hard to remember what maneuver I was supposed to be doing!
