Yeah - I thought so. I just don't think I'm going to be able to make it into the competition this year. I simply do not have the time and I'm having too much fun with 3D right now. I do want to compete in pattern though because I know it will make me a better pilot.

I was able to get out today but the engine in my pattern plane (if you can call my Venus that) simply isn't running up to snuff and I need to send it into magnum to get looked at - I don't anticipate that I would have it back in time and the plane simply isn't ready for competition. I moved the CG back a little bit but it needs to go back a little farther to be right I think. Bottom line - it simply isn't doing the manuevers correctly without major control correction.

I do love the way it flies though...
