<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Because I have a brand new plane that's not even
fully trimmed, (that you have to see), haven't practiced in earnest in almost 2
months, and so you know you'll at least beat me =)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And don't forget this particular contest has one of
the best hobby shops in the US right off the runway!!!!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What motivates me? I Love a challenge. The more
impossible it looks, the more I want to tackle it. Going to this contest where I
know I'm likely to struggle extremely hard with a brand new plane, well that's
the kind of stuff that makes me tick. Then again I may get in a zone and lay out
a great flight, and that alone would make it worth the effort for me personally.
Personal achievement, I guess, whether real or imagined.</FONT></DIV>

your pattern toys, drive 5-8 hours, shell out several hundred $$’s, risk a

mind as you anticipate going to a contest . . . is it the chicks? The
big money prizes? Is it the thought of finally beating someone you’ve
been trying to get the upper hand for years? The oohhhs and ahhhhs
you’re hoping to get from your new 2005 model year Pattern Ship?? Figure
out how well my new airplane flies? See if my 5-year old pattern plane
still “has it”??<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
