[TD="class: alt2"]WOW! What a day!

[HR][/HR]The 2014 Classic Pattern Get-Together is in the books. We had 13 pilots attending. The weather was very good, not blazing hot as one might expect from a June day at Riverside.

First off, let me extend my gratitude to the Riverside Radio Control Club for once again giving us the use of their airfield for the day. This is our second year at this location, and I hope that it is a long term relationship. Their field is a great location for this type of activity. We are thankful to be able to do our thing there.

I am also very grateful to my wife and CPGT Hostess Jennifer Fish, and also to Donald Fox. Donald stepped up and took on the role of scorekeeper this year and has agreed to support classic pattern in this capacity. Jennifer handled the administrative tasks, and was a most effective line boss during the contest phase. The CPGT would not be what it is without their most valued efforts and support.

It is our privilege to serve the Classic Pattern community in this way. The CPGT format is an opportunity to get pilots from behind the keyboard and bring classic pattern alive. For most of us, this is a hobby, and work, family, etc. get first billing in life, pushing our beloved pursuits to the back burner. For some, the CPGT is one of the few occasions that hey get to go after it, so we try our best to provide a premium experience.

We are looking forward to next years' event. Meanwhile, we still have several great CPA events on the calendar. This includes the first ever CPA West Coast Regional Championships. I welcome any questions that you have regarding these upcoming events, as well as any feedback that you have regarding the CPGT. I am always looking for ways to improve the experience.

I will post pictures as soon as I can convince my smart phone to communicate with my dumb computer. CPA members, there will be a complete write up in the upcoming CPA newsletter.
