HARD!!! Darn It!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Pattern is hard and that does
scare the average club schmoe. In an effort to entice newbies into pattern you
gotta look for the right guy at the right time. Here are my well collected
thoughts for those who (m?) care..........</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>1. Forget the guys who make peanut gallery cracks while
you are flying....the wise cracks are insecurity they do not want
exposed.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>2. Forget about anyone
with GOD syndrome. (Good Old Days). If they think that escapments made for
"REAL" pilots you dont wanna talk to them about your digital servos-or
pattern.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>3. Forget about anyone
who gets excited about............THAT NEWEST P-51 ARF!!!!!!! They are not
ready.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>4. Forget about anyone who
says they have enough "Competition" at work....chances are they are losers
there too.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>5. Forget about someone
who thinks nuthin' is better than that big O' Ugly Stick......with two aileron
servos for "flaperons".</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>6. Forget
about anyone who has a fun fly plane and likes to take off, snap three times
and loop for a touch and go...in three seconds or less. Chances are he is
A.D.D. and the straight lines of pattern will make his brain hurt from lack of
stimulation.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>7. Forget about
someone who has constant "radio problems"...yeah right.....</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>8. Forget about anyone flying a .46 plane
and has band-aids on his fingers</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>Now that I have eliminated 98.625% of the average club member...who
should you entice into pattern?????? </FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>1. The guy who approaches you at the end of a flight and asks about a
certain manuever</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>2. Anyone
who on their own accord has realized how poorly their P-51, Ugly Stick, or
other plane really flies. When he says "everytime I pull straight up like you
do my plane veers to the left-why?" He is then a prime candidate. (this is the
Horse-lead to water deal-he's gotta be thirsty)</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>3. Look for the person who is a decent pilot but is
getting bored with the hobby. You can spot him by the following....He has
mastered touch and gos, he rarely crashes, he can "SNAP" with the best of them
and does it 100 times a flight, he tries to "hover" anything including that
P-51 ARF (for realistic flight mode).</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>4. Anyone who cleans his plane (even if it is a P-51 ARF) between every
flight, is a prime candidate. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>With
this being said, I have not found any worthy candidates at the Richardson Club
in about 1.5 years. But then again I have not been flying alot for
various reasons... </FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Remember
that I am a qualified amatuer phs...psyh...psycologist,,,,,so this has gotta
be right</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><BR><BR><BR><BR>Gray
