I was wondering if the SFA might have had some of its own pattern contests. The AMA wouldn't allow a SFA member( or any other non -AMA member) to fly at one of its santioned AMA events. You had to be an AMA member to fly in the AMA contest trail. SFA could have tried its own Pattern event. Was anyone a SFA member? I know that RCM sure was pushing the SFA and had 6 or 8 pages of SFA News in their magazine. I guess I can try to find an old RCM magazine, but I sure can't remember.

A major selling point of the SFA was not supporting the competition flyers' activities with the sport flying memberships' dues money.
SFA was ANTI-COMPETITION. There were no competition events ever santioned by the SFA. It ran counter to their "ism".
