Guys,
This year the BC crew will be holding a one day clinic on pattern and everything related at the Chilliwack field in BC. This will be a great way to get a feel for what pattern is, as well all kinds of tips and help with flying, plane setup, equipment etc. Will be valuable for all flyers, regardless of if you compete or not.
There will be a lot of very experienced guys including myself
there to provide assistance
Check it out!
