Default RE: post some pictures of your pattern plane!!

The scales always swing, like a pendulum. The trick is to do what everyone else ISN'T doing, and then when they all start doing that too, already be doing something different

That's the thing with widebodys....they slow down and present beautifully, but add a 25 mph crosswind and a prophecy will hand you your tail on a plate. With the right pilot, of course. Case in point: Pensacola last weekend. Masters, everyone was flying widebodys, except Jim Thompson who was flying a Storm....it was very windy....he won. Don't be suprised to see a move back toward sleeker designs over the next few years.
