<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=770252505-03032005>Right on. I think Tom Hanks said: "The 'hard' is what
makes it good". For the record, at my first contest / pattern primer last
year, I was actually told to "stretch out" my maneuvers. "The box is way
bigger than that" I was told. Wow, that made life easier. I did a lot better
in my second contest, even while flying 70's style (ballistic) without a
megabuck 2-meter airplane. I got everything done "in the box" without it being
rushed like at the first contest (you guys should have seen the Immelman /
roll / split "S" sequence - it looked like 2 rolls stretched out slightly). If
I can do it, anyone can. It only took 4 gallons of fuel to fix the problem I
had with "the box"... </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

could argue that pattern has some similarity to golf in that it's an

pattern should be challenging to do well. Actually, more accurately, pattern
is just plain tough to do, period. I find that fun. Don't
you?</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
