I beg to differ, IMO pattern airplanes of the '70s and '80s looked much more similar then modern designs did. Classic example would be Hanno's Curare. Over here in the US there was all the sudden the Tipare, Hippo Tippo, Tipare 800 and a Dave Brown design that evolved from the airplanes mentioned, Can't recall the name off the top of my head. I have no issues with guys not liking the new designs but let's be honest in the information that we put out shall we?
