Default RE: Pattern contest... what makes it worth it?


I enjoy the people at the contestst  Great group out here in D-7.

I really like the competition as well.  The contests are what the practice is all about.  I really enjoy practicing, it gives me a reason, and discipline to fly.  the competition is what I am working for in practice, it is a holistic thing, one feeds off the other.

I too like to go out the day before, and practice at the contest field.  Flying in San Diego, the conditions are so consistant, almost always sunny, tempature is almost always the same, wind direction the same, wind speed the same.  I like the variety of different venues. 

I like the coaching I get from the more experienced guys.  I am new to Pattern, I fly advanced, and learn a lot when people coach and call for me.

I like seeing all the other planes, and setups, I learn alot.  I just can't figure out why anyone is still flying glow power.  LOL!

I like winning when it happens.

I hate zeros!!!!

I enjoy the dinners out with my pattern friends.

You guys have raffles, and win prizes?  I guess we don't do that in D-7. LOL!
