Is the Columbus contest happening this year? Any other updates to the schedule?

Joe, Unfortunately due to the members in our club not " liking " Pattern flyers too much, we are not having a meet this year. The Schedule on the NSRCA site is up to date. Looking forward to seeing you and the new plane this weekend ! Safe Travels !

That is unfortunate. Hebron is that way too. My current club has a hard time giving up a weekend of flying but they don't seem to mind the aerobatic flyers much.

I'm looking forward to seeing you and everyone else there too! I will try to get out early on Friday but we'll see how it goes.

Guys,

This will be our first contest and I would like to invite everyone to come!

Here is MORE Information about our West Michigan Pattern Contest June 20 – 22.
