has seen a slight decline over the past few years but not to the extent pattern
has. Believe it or not, the Lanier Predator ARF has helped new racers
participate in the entry level class at a relatively low price ($119 versus $750
Focus ARF). The soon-to-be released Great Planes Viper will also
help. Just like in pattern, the racers in the faster classes favor the
composite ($) planes normally not allowed in the entry level class.
Participation in the faster classes seems to vary from district to
district. Here in Denver we have a monthly race and will see 3-5 in the
entry level class, 8-15 in the next class up, and 3-5 in the fastest
class. F3D is not normally flown anywhere in the US except for during the
team trials. The rules are very different. NMPRA is still going
strong. It's newsletter is a mirror image of the K-Factor. For
anyone interested, here are some pylon related links:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV> Does anyone have a feel for the overall participation
levels that F3D and pylon racing have? I don't know anyone
that does it locally (Chicago). How many flyers are in the NMPRA? I know that
in the 70"s it was huge but I don't see very much talk about it anymore.
Thanks, Mike<BR><BR><B><I>Kurt Bozarth <kurt@bozarthhomes.com></I></B>
