I've been meaning to ask - does that mean it would be cool for me to sign up as well? If it would take away a spot from a first-year Novice I can pass.


I'm going to leave that up to you. The intention of this school is not to gain additional seat time, it's for someone who is new or has very little experience.

I figured as much - I'll wait until the last minute then, or you can pre-waitlist me :wink: . I would definitely want to work on specific exercises. If there's still spots available, then I'll join in.

Either way, count me in to help with setup, as it is just down the road for me.

Is this open early for nonmembers?

I've got a buddy who wants to hit the school.

I don't know. I would kind of expect that it is members only until two weeks out, just like all our other events.

I couldn't remember what things were like for non members without a season pass. It's been a while.

Kendt,
If you’re interested in working on specific things, I’d suggest you consider the Test & Tune, Intermediate School or the EVO school. The Evo school will pretty much deal with anything you need help with. The Novice school is more for folks with fewer than 5 AX, fresh out of the box, so to speak. At least that's been my experience. Just my .02 worth.

Duh! I'd completely forgotten that option - I'm down for the other 2 for sure.

I'll come down to help anyway - maybe I could do starts or learn T+S.

I like your way of thinking Kendt. You are more than welcome to stop by the bus any time you want. I could always use more people in there.

Unfortunately, I probably won't be at the Novice school as that is the same day as the Carolina v. Dookie game. It also happens to be our busiest day of the year at the airport. All those rich Dookies just have to fly their multi million dollar airplanes in to see the game. I'll be doing good to be able to get the Sunday off as most of them will be leaving then instead of after the game this year. Why in the hell did the ACC have to schedule that game for a Saturday?!??!?!!?

You bet! If he keeps this up he'll be an officer for sure! :thumbsup:
