This coming weekend starts our contest season for 2003, in Ocala, Florida. I wanted to take a moment and wish every one a hassle free and fun filled season of Pattern Flying. <BR>
<BR>
For the CD's, it is my hope that all your contests run smoothly with minimal complaints. For the contestants, I wish that all your planes trim out perfectly, your engines run smoothly, and your radios never lose their RF link. As far as you being connected to your flights, that's just a matter of practice and patience.<BR>
<BR>
A quick reminder to all CD's: I am asking that a 5$ rebate be given to all NSRCA members, for those contests that charge admission. We have at least one contest that does not charge admission, hence the qualifier. This is strictly a request, and depends entirely on your own individual club circumstances. <BR>
<BR>
We started this program late last year (I didn't think of it until around Nats time), with only a couple CD's participating, and honestly it worked without any problems. The respective clubs really never missed the extra income, since it was never there in the first place.<BR>
<BR>
Should you decide to rebate the registration fee a little, please remember to advertise it on your contest fliers<BR>
<BR>
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US AND GOOD FLYING!!<BR>
