I was looking at one of the other posts, that had several pictures of the newer birds. I guess I was wrong they aren't bloated pigs after all. LOL

They actually look like cartoon caricatures of real pattern planes from !QUOT!way back in the day!QUOT!, ad these particular Caricatures were drawn by a very near sighted artists. LOL

I like the fact that when I fire up my guided missile, everyone else at the field stops to watch me fly it. That doesn't happen with an Extra or an Edge. LOL
And nobody in my area seems interested in the newer pattern ships. I think the reason that pattern doesn't enjoy the popularity it once had, is due to the size and cost of a decent bird. In the 70's and 80's almost everyone at the club owned a sleek and sexy pattern ship.

Can one of you younger fellas explain this one to me ? Just to be warned if I smell a fart or BS, I will call you on it. LOL. Us older guys are like that you know. LOL
