To form a closer bond with the "Rolling Loop". They hate me, I hate them. We need to get to know one another better.

RE: What is YOUR 2012 New-Year's Pattern Resolution?
Mark, I'm glad you brought up the "rolling loop". There is a move afoot in the sequence committee to introduce it in the next/future Master's sequence. What a mistake! Most Master's flyers, that I know of, are not interested in "bridging the gap" to F3A. It's real easy, if you want to fly F3A, MOVE UP! Just please don't ask me to put my planes at risk just because you think it's best for all of us. Over these many years, I've seen more than my fair share of F3A pilots that would struggle to be competitive in the Advanced class let alone F3A. Just my thoughts, Everette

They call that "Category Creep". It's the effect that has pretty much caused the demise of full sized (man carrying) aerobatic competition in the US.

This all sounds great on the surface until you introduce the specter of losing your 'prized'' pattern plane! NO THANKS, I'm not interested in yet another grand experiment or taking on additional risks just because you, the CD, thinks he either knows what's best for me or wants to make his contest more interesting! Let's see how many flyers will attend this contest! Any bets? Just my thoughts, Everette |

RE: What is YOUR 2012 New-Year's Pattern Resolution?
Hi Joe, I was just repeating what was said in another thread here on RCU by one of YOUR fellow sequence committee members. You can read it for yourself in the thread/poll above related to "making weight with our planes for the Nationals". I don't make "false statements" and don't appreciate you accusing me of doing so! BTW, Shimano who asked you? So now what? Everette

Sorry Everette, but I did not see that other statement.

RE: What is YOUR 2012 New-Year's Pattern Resolution?
1. Practice more, with more focus. (As long as "real life" cooperates)
1b. Practice with pattern fliers, even if I have to travel. 2. Convince 1 person to attend and compete in a contest that doesn't already fly pattern. 3. Attend more contests in D4 and D5. |

Lower the weight limit. :D

Let's see how many flyers will attend this contest! Any bets? Just my thoughts, Everette You shouldn't show that you'll have more pilots to settle a pissing match. Do it for the want to grow the hobby. Unknowns are not hard. They fly them in Sportsman at IMAC contests, but they also have maneuvers in that sequence that are FAI-type (loop with integrated roll over top) as well. Why do you have to win Advanced to move up to Masters to beat someone? That title isn't going to impress anybody in the chair, your flying skills will. Unless you can make gigantic strides in your flying between now and the Nats, the Nats isn't going to do anything for you as far as giving you the ability to win. Also, I'm going to pick on Everette's age a little bit because he's retired. It may cost me, but I think it's funny nonetheless. A friend and coworker was going through A&P school. One of the instructors was up there in age, and most of the A&P students tend to be younger. One of them got into it with the instructor and made the comment that he was going to kick his ass. The instructor looked at him and said "So what? If you kick my ass, everybody will be like big deal, you kicked an old man's ass. But if I kick YOUR ass, you'll never live it down." You should want to do your best, not set a goal to beat someone just because. If you want to set a goal that would be very meaningful, reconfirm at the NATS this year that you are the best d*** contest chef there is. ;) That's impressive. |

RE: What is YOUR 2012 New-Year's Pattern Resolution?
Hi Ryan, It's OK, I don't mind you "picking on my age a little bit". Your story about the A&P instructor and his student reminded me of a similiar situation I experienced as the Charge RN in a Lock- Down Unit for the criminally insane a few years ago prior to my retirement. I had a young male patient that thought he was going to "run the show" and found out the hard way that some us senior citizen types were more than willing to take violence to the next level!___Everette

RE: What is YOUR 2012 New-Year's Pattern Resolution?
Can we put this thread back on track? Everette, no offense intended, but you have a habit of derailing the topic of a thread to serve your own agenda. Can you simply start a new thread with that thought? The integrated rolling manuever conversation is a good one... but it's worthy of it's own discussion.
So what other pattern resolutions are out there?? |

You know I really thought I was experiencing de ja vu all over again! When Victor was rambling on I could have sworn his words were coming out of the mouth of his ''daddy'' Mike Hester___OMG! In response, I have two things to ask or say. Victor are you speaking in an official capacity for your sponsor 2DogRC? Also, you may well beat me in a D3 contest next year but, and I do mean but, it's going to take all of your little rib eating, finger sucking buddies to grease you up or it's not going to happen! A new world awaits you when you finally do move up to Master's. I wish you well and hope 2Dog RC continues to feel you represent their best interests_____Everette |
