<DIV><FONT size=3>This is a really good question. In fact it has been added to
the rules survey to find out what pattern flyers think about the
idea. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>The new survey will be going out to at least 1000 plus
people, both NSRCA and Non-NSRCA members. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3>This is not an emergency that needs fixing in a
hurry.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>I hope that you will hold off on your proposal until we get an
answer back from everyone. I also hope that you will have Don Ramsey and
some others look over the wording of your proposal so that we do not run
into the problems that we are having with the 2005-7 Take-offs and Landing
language.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>BTW - I support the change, but we must be careful of the
wording and not have to turn around and submit another proposal to fix one
that is submitted without some NSRCA process and attention.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Based on the positive response on the proposed change to
landing direction, I sent my draft landing direction rule change proposal to
John Fuqua, the Contest Board chairman, and he replied:<BR><BR>"<?fontfamily><?param Arial><?color><?param 0000,0000,FFFF><?smaller>How
about this. Suggest you put this as para 6.7 which is the 'Safety
Requirements"
section. <BR><BR><?/smaller><?/color><?/fontfamily>"Normally landing
would be as per paragraph 14.1 regarding Direction of Flight. However,
when a wind shift results in a downwind landing that creates
a hazard to people or the aircraft, subject to the approval of the
judges, the landing direction may be reversed.<BR><BR>(or
maybe)<BR><BR>"Normally landing would be as per paragraph 14.1 regarding
