issue. My wife new I was in pattern when she married me. She has NO

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Guys, yes Guys! cuz lets
face this is a guy thing except for a few ladys through the years that
have actually</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> flown at a contest, to get to the point I
have been reading these thoughts on this thread about different aircraft and
distance to contests and a million other reasons that pattern does
not have the massive numbers that some </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>think it
should have, this is my opinion but a big part of being able to compete and
spend the money etc. all comes down to one big thing, your wife or
girlfriend putting up with not seeing you for hours, days,
weeks, if your build your own, months, while we go about our

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>buying some more stuff, the biggest hurtle I have
witnessed in getting sport flyers into pattern is their better</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>half. Eric and I have seperately and collectively
thanked God for the women that we have and I think this has</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to be the case with anyone who is active in
pattern, they say behind any good man is a good woman, I will add</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>behind any good score there has to be a darn good
woman if not there when it happens in the wings(no pun int), everybody lets
hear it for the real reason you are able to fly pattern. FWIW.</FONT></DIV>
