would be really cool is if you could write an article, or several articles for
the K-Factor. Bear in mind that a sizable chunk of our membership does
not subscribe to this list so whatever you write would be most welcome in the
K-Factor.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>There are just too many e-mails to respond to, so if I don't
respond directly to all who congratulated me, I sincerely thank you very
much.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>There is so much I'd like to write about, I really want to
before it just all slips away. Items that come to mind
are:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1. Aircraft setup for competition, the in's and out's
of preparing it for competition. Letting the Airplane do the
walking.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2. Consistency in Judging - having sat in the judging
chair, specifically during a masters round where Donny Wright was first
up. I exerienced first hand, from the "judges chair" the
possible, but unexplainable phenomonon of the first flyer's score
being lower than an equivalent flight later in the round.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>3. The experience of winning F3A at the
NATS.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>4. Sound in pattern models. I did quite a bit of
testing around the sound meter this week with different prop/ATV and needle
valve settings on the DZ. Common knowledge to some, a mystery to
others.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>5. Pattern Clinics- and developing interest in
Pattern. Specifically a Valley Forge clinic and the Arcola Pattern
Clinic that seem to come to mind.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I normally just write until I'm written out</FONT><FONT
size=2>, but there is too much up there between the ears just bouncing around
and its late, so good night and, I think based on all the e-mail I got, I can
go to sleep tonight without the fear of waking up and realizing that this
last week was just a dream.</FONT></DIV>
