I fly in pattern as there is no Imac comps around me, but i would prefer to fly Imac as i like the scale looks of my katana or extra over any pattern plane any day.

So it only realy comes down to which type of plane you like to fly,and to how much you'd like to travel.Sure the manuvers are diferent but you will still get the same thing out of doing both. HEAPS OF FUN.
