RE: IMAC or Pattern?
Perhaps the dressage and polo analogy was not as close as formula 1 and indi cars, but I was reacting to a comment that there was no difference in the schedules. I agree, whether you perform a loop in scale aerobatics or pattern, it is the same skill. I wouldn't suddenly lose my ability to perform a loop just because I flew a pattern plane.
But I thought it was misleading to say there wasn't much difference in the "schedules." Of course, I call them sequences.
