<DIV><SPAN class=860393405-08032005> At my field, I don't have this problem
but it is a good point. We fly at a Little League field - it's pretty tight.
Most guys have trouble with a 40 size plane so they usually just fly electrics
or slow 3D type stuff. My planes are the biggest (and fastest) things they've
ever seen fly there - and I haven't showed them a 2 meter yet. Basically, I
practice and they stay out of my way. I actually flew through a park flyer once
- I didn't realize what all of the commotion was about (thought they were amazed
at my flying skill) only to find out after landing what had caused the pile of
shredded foam to be sitting there in the pits (me). They pretty much stay out of
my way now. I guess I'm not exactly invisible.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000>I believe that a big reason why pattern has
become invisible is where we fly and practice. This was gradually and subtlety
caused by the rigors of the turnaround schedules!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>It is very difficult to fly at a club with
regular sport flyers, and often the accompanying flight direction rules, when
more than one plane is in the air.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Turnaround makes us fly consecutive maneuvers that
don't allow us to bale out if we are heading into traffic. So, we tend to fly
when the folks, who used to watch us, are not there, or at a more
isolated field. Then we become basically invisible and fail to inspire as we
did in the past.</FONT></DIV>
