<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the Jetero contest a gentleman expressed
interest in pattern and would like to join us, but was concerned that the cost
was generally too high. We pointed him to Chuck Hockhalter who was flying
Sportsman with a Swallow / OS120-4S combination. When he found that Chuck has
won every round flown with the Swallow and that it costs in the $200 range, he
couldn't wait to get the source info to order one. Some of us like to play with
the latest toys, but it's good for the game to inform folks that equipment
such as Chuck and Bob fly is competitive, low cost, and fun!</FONT></DIV>

positive effect on pattern. The new ARF's also allow those without
building skills/time to purchase a model and jump right in!

<DIV> Eric columns in Model Aviation, and Bob Pasterello win at Temple,
with a $350 plane has done a good to show new people
inexpensive ways to get people interested in pattern, something all
of you don't have time, like others of us that can spend lots of
time at our flying fields, like a recently retire guy like me, and I
have always been this way in pattern, is to spend as much time at the field
as possible, and I have been flying the Quest for a few months now this
has had a twofold effect, # 1 I have gained great confidence in my
flying skills using the Quest a plane I really don't care that much
about meaning that the price is cheap at $ 250 this isn't an
ad, there are other inexpensive planes like the Swallow the Venus and many
others under $250 # 2 it has shown other sport pilots that this really
isn't that expensive, one of the things I do is always have sportsman
schedules at the field to show people what the maneuvers are, the other
thing and a lot of you do the same thing I know is giving help with setups
and how to trim a plane, even when it take away from your flying, I
have been back flying this will be the 4 th year and the fruit of my
labor are starting to pay off, when I started back there was only one
part time pattern pilot at our field he showed up 2 or 3 times a week for
a couple of hours, so it seems that exposure is the answer to getting
new pilots, as of now I have 3 new pattern pilots, and 2 more showing
interest at our club, one of which is an NSRCA member the others will
follow by the end of the year, all this is about is getting new members so
if you can work it into your schedule try to spend a little more time at
your flying field. </DIV><BR><BR>
