As I'm not from that district and don't have access to that K-Factor was your
contest mentioned in the K-Factor.?. Many of us depend on the K-Factor to
get our contest info and personally I have to know 2 or 3 months in advance for
my work schedule. Putting out phamplets in local hobby shops helps. Local
may be within 50 to 75 miles to some while others consider that to far. If you
yourself travel the contest trail others that CD can also help guide
you.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=390122913-24062003><FONT face=verdana> Maybe you should
go to a different format. How about a Aerobatic flyin. Invite IMAC and Pattern
to get together in a non competitive atmosphere. The idea being to promote
competitive aerobatics more in the future. There may be a lot of guys sitting
on the fence that would be more interested in participating in an event that
would allow them to learn the ropes 1st. You could have a
judging symposium and a aerobatic tutorial. I think this type of event is
whats needed to promote RC aerobatics. Based on the types of planes that I see
flyers interested in I think it's the way to go. Mike</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV> I think you may have answered you question. Membership spread
over a 50 mile area. It sounds like you are not close enough for people to
travel to the contests.</DIV>
<DIV>I live in Georgia and there are about 8- 10 active pattern flyers
in the whole state. We now have one contest in the state.</DIV>
<DIV>Did you advertise? That has a lot to do with it. The more adv. the
better.</DIV>
<DIV>Don't get discouraged, we are a select few that fly pattern. However
there is a lot of help and info for the asking. Windy? If the wind didn't
blow it wouldn't be a contest.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My name is Clay Schmidt and I am the President of
the Model Association of Central Kansas. MACK is a small club dead
center in the middle of Kansas. Our membership is spread over a 50
mile area centered over the Great Bend and Larned area.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This last weekend, June 21st and 22nd MACK
hosted a pattern contest. We ended up with seven contestants and two
of those contestants are club members. As you can imagine we
are very disappointed in the turn out and I was hoping that some of you
that fly pattern, and would possibly come to Central Kansas, would
indulge us with a little information or suggestions so we can increase the
participation in our contest. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I've listened to a lot of speculation, and "how
comes" but I would like to hear directly from anyone why our event
for the most part was not on the "Contest Trail." Is it because you
didn't know about it? Is the date bad,,too close to other contests
or in conflict with other contests?, You don't want to come to
Central Kansas ( Rural)? Traditionally too windy? Poorly
run? What ever the reason I'd like to know.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks for listening and for your time. Anyone
with input can email me directly at <A
href="mailto:clay1@grapevine.net">clay1@grapevine.net</A>. Again, we
really want to host a premier event and your input could very well help us
do that.</FONT></DIV>
