We're going to add Classic Pattern to our Pattern contest On October 1st and 2nd. And we're going to allow you enter both Classic and "regular" pattern. Right now I'm thinking the CPA Sportsman and Masters patterns, but we'll see who shows up and what they want. Might be light on trophies for Classic but it will be a start. We will allow just about any model for this first time. Let's see what happens and go from there.

I've been going to the field a lot with my current "Onas" pattern model and my H-9 Phoenix 7. I have to admit, the Phoenix is getting a lot more air time!

I really hope we can grow Classic into a steady event. There is so much to like about one maneuver per pass. Judging is much easier and new fliers are much less intimidated.
