I started flying R/C in '73 and quickly moved to pattern flying, I stopped flying R/C in 2000 after getting married and starting a family. Over the last few years I have getting the bug to get back at it, I was driven by the resurgence of the older style of pattern flying. I flew my last pattern contest in '97, I was competing with a Sam Turner designed and built Pursuit. My question is it seems that the old style pattern swell has died off, the planes that were starting to become available are gone now so is it dead?
