<DIV>Please read and offer your thoughts...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've had an interesting turn of events and will again ask for those
interested in attending either of two events to please contact me.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since my local club has not been very proactive in stepping up to the pate,
I've been talking with our local airport authority. As luck would have it, The
city Mayor is asking for an RC Aircraft Event for their Herb Fest October 4th
and 5th.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So I'm now working with the City and the Airport for a win-win. I'm going
to be asking for the Airport to support a Pattern Contest Labor Day weekend in
return for me CDing an Event for the City's Herb Fest.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Number of entrants would not be an issue, there are zero obstructions, and
plenty of space for 3 or more flight lines (don't think it would be necessary
but very open space). Our corporate jets fly out of this airport.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, two things:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) Please let me know if you have interest in attending a D4 Contest
in Southern Indaina for Labor Day Weekend.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) If others would be willing to assist in running a special pattern event
with an Airshow to follow on Sunday, I would be willing to support and propose a
new Championship Contest:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Tri-District Invitational Championship for October 4th and 5th for the Herb
Fest. I'm open for any suggestions and haven't finalized anything...Here are
some of my thoughts...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A) To qualify, you must have either placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in your
District Point Championships or placed 1st or 2nd in any pattern contest for the
current season. It looks like D3, 4, and % are done in September. This would be
open for any body AMA or NSRCA in any District.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My preference is to support the NSRCA and promote it as much as possible.
However, If there isn't enough interest or support for any type of Pattern event
for the Herb Fest, I will be forced to look at other type of RC flying Events.
This isn't an if, it's more like a what type of event....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My Resume' for pulling this off:</DIV>
<DIV>1) AMA member since 1986</DIV>
<DIV>2) NSRCA Member since 2000</DIV>
<DIV>3) Number of contest attended - 10 (only competed in two this year in
Sportsman)</DIV>
<DIV>4) Occupation - Program Manager 5yrs experience</DIV>
<DIV>5) AMA CD - #5024</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm showing some honesty for those skeptics, but I know I can pull this off
very nicely. I will not disappoint you. That is my commitment to the
NSRCA.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Location - Huntingburg, IN</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Distances....<BR><BR>Evansville, IN - 1 hour<BR>Indianapolis, IN - 2
hours<BR>Cincinnati, OH - 3-1/2 hours<BR>Dayton, OH - 4 hours<BR>Louisville, KY
- 1-1/2 hours<BR>Owensboro, KY - 1 hour<BR>Nashville, TN - 3 hours<BR>St. Louis,
MO - 4 hours<BR></DIV>
<DIV>I believe I have the drive and background to make this a must attend
classic for pattern folks. I am open to recommendations and any support that you
can offer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please let me know if you are willing to attend either Pattern Events if it
works out. (The Herb Fest will have an Airshow to follow on Sunday. All
attending the Pattern Event would be invited to fly during the Airshow any
plane, Helicopter you desire).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The intent would be to have both contests as an Annual Event, not just
a one time deal. I will be attending a City Council Meeting to discuss my
proposal. I would like to present Pattern if possible. I'm now in discussion
with the city to discuss how we might pull this off for this year.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
