Default RE: Starter Pattern guide

Thanks so much Mike
That was some great info, Let me tell you what I have, I have a 33% Suhkoi with DA-100 on it, and I have it set up where is does a great job for IMAC but since I haven't been doing this long I really don't know if its what I need to the fullest of pattern flying, But I have a dual rates set where I can flip a switch and go from a nice walk in the park to a serious 3DE machine, Now I don't know if this is something that one would want to do and that is mix these two types of flying characteristics in one plane or should each plane have its on purpose, I also have a 2.3 Composite-Arf that I'm in the very beginning stages of putting together, I will be using a ZDZ 80 up front, not really sure about any mods to it yet, But I have a Carden 35% that hasn't got here yet and I'm so much looking forward to this I cant see straight, and since finely everything work out in my life towards the good, I'm 37 and retried so I get to fly a lot weather depending, But if there is anything else you would like to no I would be more then happy to answer your question, But I'm not sure I got the answer I was looking for unless you said it and it went over my head, Is there a website to visit that shows all the Pattern flying maneuvers, I'm a real pilot my hobby and I have about 45 hours in a Pitts9Dual of coarse but are the maneuvers in the same ball park as those, as in Cuban eights, half Cuban, harmer heads, 4 and 8 point rolls, etc.....


Thanks again for your reply I really appreciate it..
