<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This note from Steve caught me a little by surprise. Like Earl I tend to think that there is a competitive spirit in all of us that responds to new challenges. The phraseology that I chose was in the framework of a picture that I was painting to get you all to think about the lack of opportunity that we in FAI have to fly the F-series schedules, even if we wanted to.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>As regards any FAI feelings that Steve thinks that I have hurt. If he is correct then one is too many. My sincere apologies to anyone who was offended.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Your quote "<FONT face=Arial>Lets face it you either are an FAI pilot or you are not. Just flying P-07 next year is like being half an FAI pilot!!!!. " seems you was insulting, I'd guess 2/3 of the FAI pilots, not very politically correct if you ask me.</FONT>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> Your one that is in a high office and should think of other's feelings, for example you could have taken a poll instead of telling people they are half a pilot.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> Way to much said at this time, Discussion complete.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV> Instead of trying to discourage people from flying FAI you should trying to encourage it , all local contest that I have seen have many more Masters flyers than FAI, very unbalanced.</DIV>
<DIV> If your intent was to make some of us feel bad about flying FAI congratulations you have succeeded. </DIV>
<DIV> Hasn't it been voted on many times that the masters want there own schedule not the P pattern.</DIV>
<DIV> You stated that most FAI pilots only fly P , then in your next sentence you say then we're not FAI if we don't fly both.</DIV>
<DIV>If you think this is how you GROW PATTERN you are really missing the boat.</DIV>
<DIV>Your arrogance is appalling.</DIV>
