blah, blah, blah, eh??????? Pattern is for those of us who want to fly precise!!!!! Pattern with a Imac plane is Imac, not pattern!!!!! Precision is very, very hard and may be boring to you and that's fine. Maybe you don't have an eye for precision. I see all kinds of people out at my field who can 3D. Yeah right. 3D is a term that I feel is used loosely. 3D and 3d done correctly are 2 different things. Don't get me wrong, I fly "3D also. But at times gets boring because I just bang sticks back and forth. Even torque rolls on the deck get boring. And as for whoever you saw flying 150 feet up, that's them. I fly my pattern about 50 feet off the deck and I can fly it precisely. Which is a challenge. If I wanted to I could fly it low enough to do a tailtouch, but that gets graded down. It's obvious that you know very little about the subject that you brought up. I don't bash anyone for flying what I feel is boring. You fly what you want to fly. That may be fun to you and not me. As long as it's what you want to do, I'm happy for ya!!!!!!!!!!! My opinion on a subject that is a narrow minded one. Take care all and happy pattern, 3d, imac, or sport flying 2 ya!!!!!! Chris
