Default RE: FARM Pattern Contest

Donald Lobeda won sportsman flying a .40 ultra stick with a Saito .72. Keep an eye on this young man in the future. By the way AFTER the contest I flew his plane and put a couple of mixes in (throttle to elevator on down lines and rudder to oppostite aileron). How he could fly this plane and fly it that well with no mixes and no expo and JUST enough power for a clean loop- using pure thumbs- against traditional pattern model designs was truly astonishing. It reminded me of Dave Brown in the day (someone will have to re-tell the story of him flying a high trainer in a spectacular manner during a contest in the '70s in front of some skeptical judges). Would make Ron Van Putte proud.

P.S., I saw him flying one of Chris' new 110 size monolog's after the contest... watch out. http://www.f3aunlimited.com/webstore...roducts_id=533
