Thanks Scott for all of your info and clarifications. As i said I have been very active in control line competition over the last 5 years and still plan to be very active. But I am missing the old pattern days and would love to start a local contest.

I will keep working the contest with my club and plan to host an event in 2014. There is some interest with my local club, but they are very supportive of any event that members would like to host.

Look for a classic pattern association event in 2014. suggestions for the month would be good, our calender fills up quickly with IMAC, fun fly, control line events etc.

Judging would be my one area of concern, with my control line event, I can always rely on my friends to help out with judging....I assume this Pattern event would be the same way, but not knowing folks and assuming....you know what happens when you assume.

Scott, do you think this would be an issue??

Thanks .

Tim
