Default RE: First Pattern Contest

Teo, I've seen a wide variety of airplanes being flown in sportsman like ugly sticks,Sig senior, Venus, Venus2, Spot on 50 and the list goes on and on. Basically any plane that can do a loop and a role. Basically I can't say enough about my first contest experience being that you learn so much about flying, building, plane set up and even radio set up. Pattern flyers are great group of people but be prepared if you ask a question you'll probably get more information than you could absorb. Two years ago I posted a thread on this forum entitled how good do you have to be and all the responses I got were just go fly. The best advice I ever got. I'm happy to say that now I am a pattern addict and loving every second of it. Scott, you flew extremely well and I was very impressed by the way you got your nerves under control and it showed flight after flight. Looking forward to flying with you again in St. Clairsville.Rick, we will be coming down Friday for practice. What time do you think you'll be finished mowing the runway lol. I did see the flyer and I noticed you did not include GP coordinates for those who can no longer read a map. Ha ha.Jim
