About 10 years ago I practiced pattern with a couple of friends who competed. I started with a Summit III with a Hanno 61 and a tuned pipe, and then I thought I moved up to a Finesse, but discovered my Summit flew better. I did try competition, but the travel requirements were too great, so I practiced pattern with my friends for fun.

The disciplines of Pattern flying assisted me with smoother operations, and those disciplines carried over to my scale Warbirds. However now I want to fly a Pattern plane again. My plan is to put my Evolution 26cc gas on it.

Thanks for everyone’s help.
