Its been a while since I've had an opportunity to update the web site. I have been busy the past two days adding pictures to the image-base. 65 new images were added to finish up page 5 and start page 6.

Thanks for all the support, encouragement and kind words...and pictures!

Please see the Classic Pattern Image-Base for the corrections. Removed two images on page 6 by request and corrected one image on page 2...was Interceptor, now its an Intruder.

Thanks
Steve

I would really appreciate pictures of planes that you might have taken yourself or find in old magazines that aren't yet in the image-base. I will not turn down any picture of a plane that may already be in the image-base. I could also start a section for pattern pilots themselves if there is any interest in that.

Thanks
CAsniffer

I added 101 pictures to the Classic Pattern Image-base, on page 7 and page 8. Many of the planes are new to the image-base and there are some new examples of existing planes.
Be sure to check out the Classic Pattern Plane list and let me know if I need to add any planes to the list.

Thanks

CAsniffer

Just visited your image base fo the first time in a while, and all I can say is WOW.

I have a quick change for you to make if you would. The fourth Kaos on page 1 (the red & blue one with white stars on the wing, stab and rudder) is actually a Tower Kaos. Actually, it wouldn't bother me at all if you decided to remove the picture from the image base since you have so many far superior examples of the Kaos.

Keep up the awesome work on the image base!!!!

I don't want to remove an image just because there are many examples. There may be a picture with a particular view or angle that someone may want to see. I started collecting pattern plane pictures so I could see what a Troublemaker looks like, for example. Also, I'm sure its nice to have your plane in the image-base and they don't take up much space anyway. It would also leave a hole in the gallery page!
I will change the listing to reflect your plane's lineage.
Thanks for the compliment.

Status: offline 		At last, for Rainedave and anyone else who might be interested. After 6 weekends of absolutely disgusting weather this Winter Sunday was one of those calm, clear days that you often read about, but never actually enjoy. The Sicroly has flown, the old $40.00 Webra runs without causing any moments and the model has started the trimming process. It won't take much, a bit expo to tone down the ailerons around neutral as they respond to the slightest stick twitch and a bit of elevator movement reduction as it responds splendidly to the elevator, cg may be a little back from optimum, but the thing is speed stable as it is so I won't be fiddling with that too much. Almost totally neutral with the sort of dynamic stability that makes it stop just where the controls stopped, a real 'arrow'. This one is obviously not for the tentative but will track 'just so' for an accurate pattern pilot. Nearest I can compare it to is my beloved 'Superstar'. I know it looks ugly on the ground but in the air it looks pretty good. Inverted needs the merest whiff of down, rolls need almost no correction, just a wee tab of down as it rolls over on its back. The flaps do have a nose up trim change, maybe the cg again, but so long as I throttle back to just over idle no trim adjustment needs to be made. The thing floats around with the flaps down at what appears to be somewhere way under stall speed, but nothing untoward has yet happened and the landing is accomplished with wee dabs of down elevator to make sure it will actually contact the strip. Real slow nose high landings, of course, almost without pilot intervention. Interesting. I have my usual 1~2 deg washout built in to the wing, this may account for the good slow speed manners. Even so the stall is positive, the spin quick and recovery instant on letting go the sticks, just what is required. All in all, not a bad model, certainly a competitive one once fully sorted.
Evan, WB #12.

I completely agree. If possible, Please don't remove any of the images. I really have a hard time choosing color schemes and on these planes, a color scheme can make or break them, IMHO. I have learned so much from this one thread, but now my wish list keeps on growing...
Thanks for your work CAsniffer.
