The third annual Heart of Ohio Pattern Classic will be held May 31st and June 1st in Columbus, Ohio.

We have a 700 ft x 70 ft paved runway.

See attached flyer.

Hope to see you there.

Ron,
I will be there with at least two guys from the Cleveland area (Mark Atwood and Jim Gruntkowski). We are definitely looking forward to it.

If possible, could you cancel the rain for this year?

Thanks
Anthony

I'm planning to come. I have a VenusII that I built for my club to auction off...

...and then I won it!

I flew novice about 8 years ago for two seasons and am looking forward to getting back into pattern. Of the various hotels listed, which one is most popular with the crowd?

Also, is NSRCA membership requried?

Do I have to pay to watch?

Tom

NSRCA membership encouraged (it is a wealth of information) but in no way shape or form required.

Spectators are always welcome and free. You can even indulge in the wonderful RC food at a reasonable cost.

Sorry Ron, I don't want to overstep my bounds by answering questions that are technically for the CD

Anthony
NSRCA #759

Great, thanks. I think it's been two decades since I've watched a pattern sequence in real life.

Tom

Anthony is correct no fee to watch and NSRCA is not required.

I don't recall which hotel everyone stayed at but they are all OK and in the same general area. We usually hook up for dinner Friday night and saturday night somewhere around the hotels.

Normally the sportsman/novice class is small so there is little pressure and a good chance of taking home some hardware.

Look forward to seeing you.

Ron

No fee for spectators.

I suggest you bring a plane and give it try.

Even a trainer plane can do most of the manuvers in sportsman/novice class.

If you can do a loop, roll and fly a little inverted you can fly sportsman/novice class.

Don't be shy.

Ron

I stayed at the knights inn. but it was pretty crappy. So if you go down there try staying elsewhere. Myself i hope to make it. sooner or later will get the new plane ready.

Dennis,
Will that be the trial by fire of the Black Magic V.2? I can't wait to see that yellow monster.

Have you practiced the Masters pattern yet. Best of luck there, that is a big leap from advanced to masters, but you can do it.

Well, since I'm pining to get a Black Magic, it'll be really nice to see a couple up close and personal!

there will be plenty Black Magis in the Ohio / Michigan area. It will likely be very popular in D4 this year.

No i haven't practiced master's at all yet. So it's going to be a long year. But the Black Magic should be done by then and in fact hoping to fly it in Kentucky at the first contest of the year.
