LOL at the largest of clubs that I fly at some of the avid Fun Fly guys are former pattern and IMAC and they ain't coming back! I am more interested in those few new to the sport who prefer lines to hanging on the prop. We are not going to attract the kids who gravitate towards 3D right out of training because pattern is just not that exciting. The kindred spirits who like big figures are drawn to EDF jets and IMAC. With their Basic sequence (10 figures), IMAC is better positioned to garner newcomers to precision aerobatics than pattern, IMO. We just don't have an offering for those so inclined. The old time pattern pilots might be interested in a simpler, non-turnaround contest which is club rather than contestant judged, but that is so Retro LOL.
