I've been flying a Widebody for over a month now exclusively. I'm not a pattern expert by any means. I went back to my Kavalier the other day and had a blast flying it again. I had forgotten how good it flies. It flew pattern very well...in the old design sort of way. The Kavalier is a sport plane, but it can do some good pattern stuff too. I thought I wouldn't enjoy it but I was wrong.
