Couple of quick questions since I am playing catch up.

First - what time is the pilot's meeting on Saturday? I cannot make it up for Friday so what time do you plan to start on Saturday?

Pilots meeting Sat 8 am sharp.
Registration will be open on from 4pm-6pm on friday and then again from 7-730am Sat Morning
(Sat. is only for people would could not make it in on Fri.)


Second - is it still the plan to cut-off Sportsman and Intermediate so there is time for the upper classes to fly??

That was never a thought from our end or had anything to do with shortening the patterns. The reason the patterns were shortened is to try and encourage some new comers to give it a try. This did work as designed so we will see our first Sportman pilots of 2012.


As I understand it Intermediate will end at Figure #14 the Diamond loop, is that correct? And is landing still being judged so there are 15 figures instead of 19??

That is correct



Third - what is the entry fee again? And I assume that Intermediate and Sportsman will still pay full price??

The Entry Fees are as follows
$40.00 for standard AMA and FAI
$30.00 for Old School Masters
$60.00 if you fly both

and yes its full price. We are not charging you guys more even though you will fly more flights then the other classes and take precedent over all the other pilots on Fri.

Cool. If the idea was to attract Sportsman pilots why was Intermediate also shortened? It is what it is, I was just curious. See you bright and early Saturday. Wish I could make Friday, but my jerk boss won't let me go [:@] BTW, I was joking about the entry fee, I should have used more [8D]
