Thanks for the reply,
I know the downsides. and with the wind in Dist 1 this year it will be fun! I know it's not going to be compitive,
but they are a good flying plane and Since I piled in my "real Pattern " plane sunday I am stuck for awhile.
(You know the deal. want to at least get some practice in.)
I have had a multi year layoff and my flying was nice and smooth except when I had someone call the pattern.
This plane will be to help me learn the darn thing if nothing else. (and buy me time to get a nice Aries maybe! )
I figure I will stretch it out and see what happens. worse I will have to do it take a saw to the fuse.
