Pattern is just like graceful figure skating. 3D is more like hockey practice without as much violence.


now that i understand ....with my ability im still a hockey player, just flailing around and every now and then i impess myself. mostly by not hitting the ground, but occationally with a move that looked pretty cool. i can see what xcead meant by bringing up your ability to a new level as when i first learned to fly my brother asked me to pick a destination or goal and fly there vrs just keeping the darn model off the ground. and thats when i started to improve. now i can hover and harrier around the feild fairly well, but to have the will power to force the plane to follow a staight line or particular "pattern" would take disapline. Now with having that said what advantages does a "pattern craft" have over my 3d profile plane? can they hover?


This image answer your question ? sure they can hover.

Hi all,

All I can say is to fly PATTERN! It will teach you diciplen and you will never want to fly 3D again......trust me, don't waist your time hovering etc, because it proves nothing.

well I left pattern flying years ago.. went into "more" exciting 3D.. broke planes a lot of planes like nobody business along the way (Balsa, foamies), and had to make DIYplanes to 3D..

Now I'm back into pattern and training seriously for competetion standard... less broken parts, and more relaxing.. satisfaction comes when you think you fly better than yesterday
