Pattern the way it used to be??
I've been campaigning a Calypso 60 all summer, and I've built and flown a Supra Fly 25. I can't get enough of the Classics!
Also have a Killer Kaos which has served me very well indeed.
I have a real problem with the 2 meter rule, not in FAI but in the lesser classes I long to see perhaps an 1.8meter/4 kg max rule to keep the costs down and recruiting up! Recent Norweigan nats showed a clear trend towards Alliances and Caprises being flown in the Nordic class (1 level below FAI) and only three models in that class were 60 or 90 powered.
I have a dream to build a 60 or 90 size Supra Fly from my .25 plans. Maybe This winter perhaps :-)
