<p><font size=3>Chris -- </font>
<p><font size=3>Waitaminnit! I thought Gray's post was thoughtful, incisive, and 100% on point -- I especially appreciated his analysis of the Control Line P51 coin! </font>
<p><font size=3>As a newcomer to pattern perhaps you don't yet realize the gravity of our pursuit of pattern perfection - and the need for complete dedication .... I'm sure it'll come to you later... </font>
<p><font size=3>Now to go and work on that new Apocalypse that just arrived... or was it an Armageddon...? </font>
<p><font size=3>--Kepp smiling! It makes 'em wonder what you're up to!!! </font>

<br><font size=3>>My vote would be to up the penalty for flying too far out. Hard to tell </font>
<br><font size=3>>if it is 150 or 175, but 200 meters to me is a ZERO...outta the box. But </font>
<br><font size=3>>I can only give a serious 2pt downgrade. It bothers me when people fly </font>
<br><font size=3>>200-225 meters out with a downgrade. Problem here of course is the FAI's </font>
<br><font size=3>>are about the worse offenders -i.e. can't do a rolling circle within 175 </font>
<br><font size=3>>meters-fly it right or get rid of it. Considering that us low class </font>
<br><font size=3>>types follow their lead (butt sniffin' in reality) no wonder I see 250 </font>
<br><font size=3>>meter patterns. </font>
<br><font size=3>>The box dimensions are just fine. Slow the plane down and everything </font>
<br><font size=3>>fits (for those of you who need a plane that WILL slow down see </font>
<br><font size=3>>www.aeroslave.com-thankyouverymuch). For those who still have a "hate </font>
<br><font size=3>>thing" for turn around, to me turn around is what makes it flow, and is </font>
<br><font size=3>>what makes it cool. Yeah its hard and I suck, so what? </font>
<br><font size=3>>While I am on a rant, how stupid is that we got rid of T.O. and </font>
<br><font size=3>>landings??? Too hard also? Actually WE did not get rid of them..... </font>
<br><font size=3>> </font>
<br><font size=3>>Love to all..... </font>
<br><font size=3>> </font>
<br><font size=3>>Wait..one more! I got a P-51 coin and a DVD in the mail from the AMA </font>
<br><font size=3>>yesterday UNSOLICITED but now they want me to either mail it back or </font>
<br><font size=3>>give them $9. WTF is that all about. Now I am considering keeping the </font>
<br><font size=3>>coin just because it is a P-51, but I can just imagine whats on the </font>
<br><font size=3>>DVD...a control line P-51 doing "stunts"....wow, maybe some free </font>
<br><font size=3>>flight?? I hate the MA mag....I can only imagine whats on the DVD. </font>
<br><font size=3>>If I am too lazy to mail the DVD back and do not pay the $9 what happens </font>
<br><font size=3>>to me? AMA hate mail? AMA collection agency? "Bruno" Dave Brown at my </font>
<br><font size=3>>door step or the AMA Gansta-rappers/collections....... </font>
<br><font size=3>> </font>
<br><font size=3>>More love to all and a merry P-51 </font>
