All right I have to call BS. Price is a big portion of the picture here. There was a time when you could be competitive with a 40 to 60 sized bird, and that was in the top categories of competition, now to win at the top you seem to need a $2000 airframe, a $1000 motor and a $1500 radio. Thats why every Tom, Dick and Harry doesn't have a pattern plane anymore. I can remember when we would have a club pattern meet and 3/4's of the club would show up with a pattern plane. So don't give me BS about the big gassers costing more than a patten ship. LOL


Stop the Madness. LOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLLOL
