2015 RCACF Tangerine Pattern Classic
 

Start practicing the new sequences folks as the dates for the RCACF Tangerine Pattern Classic are March 28 & 29, 2015.

Pre-registration available at www.nsrca.us website but not in the D3 page as in the past. On their homepage, click on "Events/Results" to open, next click on "List Events" then click on "Apopka Spring Pattern Contest" in the list.

$30 pilot registration fee. Awards for 1st, 2nd & 3rd in all classes. Lunch will be available for a modest price.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again this year.

Only three and a half weeks of practice left until the 2015 Tangerine Pattern Classic. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

I haven't been able to fly since I was in Orlando over Christmas. Weird weather in Alabama this year. Cold, windy or wet or any two of the three at once. Last week we have 8.1 inches of snow, this week over an inch of sleet and freezing rain. May get to fly today. Hope to make it down for the contest.

i am going, from Colombia South america, maybe i will be selling my biside beacuase it is too expensive to bring it back to colombia.

if you want pics from the plane, PM and i will send it.

Hi Steve,
I will not be there to help out.

Orlando

Weather: It appears it will be mild, mostly wet & windy for practice late day Friday. Calling for clear skies, breezy (out of the north/northwest) with cooler temps on Saturday. Clear skies, cool temps and less wind on Sunday.

Steve

Is anyone allowed to practice today, tomorrow looks like a wash out with 90% chance a rain and wind gust to 28

RCACF Pattern Practice
 

Jetmech43, I'd say go for it. If any club member objects (don't think they will) or if the gate is locked when you arrive (weather due to deteriorate today too) let me know. Are you Randy F? Please reply and I'll send you a PM.

Ok will do the IMAC contest is going on this weekend here at Ocala, and the field will be quite busy here to get some practice in

Are you Randy F? If so, please advise and I'll send you a PM.

Yes it me Steve

We are tempted to rush down to catch the last round- Just kidding. Yes Larry, JR got your text right in the middle of our judging seminar.... get there quick we were in ready box 3.

Shivering at 38 degrees up here in VA... we heard it was warmer in Orlando!

Had a great time and kudos to Steve H., volunteers and RCACF for hosting the event. Glad the weather worked out better for the pilots. Since the photos are too large to post here without compressing and mainly I'm too lazy...here's a link to my blog:
