Maybe this new Club Class ( https://nsrca.us/index.php/sequences ) will help get some new people into pattern. The maneuvers are the same as what they have been doing in their sport flying. AND there is only 10 of them. Short sweet and simple. This sequence should be fairly simple to "master" and if it hooks them I think sportsman will suck them right in??? IMO Club class and Sportsman should be limited in size to 60 to 65 inch wing span and an appropriate weight though it is hard to dictate a weight for various size air frames. Maybe weight is not a big deal in Club and Sportsman??

Now with the above said I must say I'm an aspiring pattern pilot but plan on competing in sportsman but would be happy to join in on the Club Class just to improve my skills.
