The Pattern fliers at Arvada Mode lers (AAM) are putting on a one day informal “event” (seminar). Bring any plane\, no practice required\, and no pressure. You choose if you woul d like to be judged or just coached/guided. We will be going over both the Sportsman and \;Club sequences. \; Both are very easy and contain maneuvers you probably already know how to fly.\n\nPlease plan to be ther e at 9 am\, and please also RSVP if you will be attending (I need the numb ers for lunch). \; We'll probably be done shortly after \;noon&nbs p\;(see schedule below). \; I will notify you if there is a weather ca ncellation.\n\nThere is $5 \;donation requested if you'll be joining u s for BBQ lunch (i.e. burgers and dogs).\n\nSequences for the “Club” a nd “Sportsman” classes are at\n\nhttps://nsrca.us/index.php/sequences\ n\nThe \;Club class maneuvers is included at the end of this email.\nN ote: \; We may also fool around with some EDF Jet Precision flying\, s o bring your foam jets too! \; More on that later if you express inter est in this... so please let me know.\nPreliminary agenda:\n\n1) Start out with a discussion and Q&\;A \;about the Sportsman pattern and how it get's flown and \;judged. \; IOW... go through the sequence and discuss the finer points of maximizing or increasing your score. \; W e'll go over parallel flight\, wings level\, what 45's look like\, centeri ng\, looping\, radii\, pace\, flow (constant air speed)\, \;etc. \ ; The tips on judging will also be a good \;primer for new \;judge s.\n\n2) We have one of the upper class guys do a demo flight. \; Show you what the pattern should look like\, including calling the takeoff/lan ding and the boxes.\n\n3) Then you'll fly either a 3 or 4 \;round cont est. \; I say contest\, but you can choose to be judged/scored or just get coached. \; After each flight\, the \;coaches will go over so me of the things they're seeing and what you can improve upon. \;  \;We won't be criticizing during your flying. \; \;In order to kee p the line moving\, the \;coaching will be back away from the line in the pits. \; That way the judges are just focused on the \;flyers.  \; We'll rotate the judging so that you'll have the benefit of hearin g from different coaches after each round.\n\n4) I'll enter your scores as if it's a real contest and will return the cut-off's\, etc.\n\n5) We'll c onclude with a discussion about radio/plane set up including: \; \ ;throttle curves\, dual rates\, flight modes\, CG (longitudinally and latt erly)\, control throws\, stick movements (expo)\, props\, thrust\, etc.\n\ n6) \;If you stick around and are interested\, we'll also have some de mo flight the Intermediate pattern.\n\nWe should definitely do a \;sha kedown/trim flight for each aircraft before you start flying. \; IOW.. . make sure \;each plane is trimmed as well as it can be for that day.  \; However\, I don't think it would be productive to have you make ch anges to your radio/plane before \;the flying that day. \; You sho uld endeavor to do that (gradually) afterward with help as requested or ne eded. \; The coaches and judges will be able to suggest plane/radio ch anges based on what they see. \; So you might want to bring something to take notes with.\n\nWe'll break for lunch whenever we get hungry.\n\nFi nally\, we'll do quick recap/trophy ceremony.\n\nHope to see you there\,\n \nJoe Pirozzoli\n\nClub Sequence\n\n Takeoff Sequence (Upwind)\n Straigh t Flight Out (Upwind)\n Procedure Turn (Turn-a-round)\n Straight Flight Back (Downwind)\n Stall Turn without Rolls (Upwind)\n Immelmann Turn (Up wind)\n 45 Degree upline (Upwind)\n Straight Inverted Flight (Downwind)\ n Two Inside Loops (Upwind)\n Landing Sequence (Upwind) \;  \;\n CATEGORIES:Events LOCATION:AAM Airpark\, 7608 Highway 93\, Golden\, CO\, 80403\, United State s GEO:39.837061;-105.228343 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=7608 Highway 93\, Golden\, CO\, 80403\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=AAM Airpark:geo:39.8 37061,-105.228343 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Denver X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Denver BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20190310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 TZNAME:MDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
