<DIV>OMG, I can't believe I agree with YOU! LOL Just picking on you Bro. As a long time pattern flyer, career intermediate, a multiyear, multi-contest a year pattern CD I think TN is right on. I have eliminated weight restrictions and bunches of other stuff from more than one local contest year after year as have my other local CD's and nothing has brought out the pilots like good old fashioned friendship and being on them constantly to come out. We have lost a couple of guys because they felt they had to move up, when all they could really fly was Sportsman. We are having pattern barbecues (food not airplanes) this year to get people out together, do some flying, get noticed by other club members and provide information. We are taking these barbecues on the road locally. </DIV>
