<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I like to compare it to fishing. You could
get a cane pole, some line, a hook, dig some worms.......head to the
river. Or, you can get a $25k bass boat and everything in between.
The point of the exercise remains........catch a fish.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>As a reality check, I
sometimes compare pattern flying to off-road motorcycle racing, a sport that
was readily availble to me considering the desert I grew up in. I've
though that considering the simplest form of racing (ATV or even jetski), I
couldn't break the competitve surface of those sports with the dollars I
spend on pattern stuff. </FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif

This guy has an AWESOME trailor and setup, etc. However, you
would need that stuff for ATV racing anyway. </FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>In this sense, pattern for the competitive guy, is a
fairly inexpense for of getting the competition bug going.</FONT>

<P><FONT face=Arial color=blue size=2>Sure we are!!!! You don't think
spending thousands of dollars on pieces of balsa wood that sometimes get
totally destroyed because of a slight error on our part (or a radio
"glitch") is crazy? Well, I don't either but some people probably do. At
least we're learning something. Some of that collecting obsession is a
little extreme (who would have thought an oil can was worth that kind of
money?). Wait a minute, my Father has a basement full of Lionel trains - he
actually plays with them though ("runs them") so I guess he's not crazy
either. Things that make you go hmmm...</FONT>
