Default RE: Spoiled after flying pattern planes?

I agree that all the pattern aircraft that I have flown, fly great, but after seeing the turbines fly at the Georgia Jets field last weekend, the current pattern stuff looks pretty darn dull. Not that I plan to spend $15 to $20K on a turbine but the flight characteristics of the turbines are absolutely and completely spectacular. They are fast, smooth and very graceful. Because we are comparing all RC aircraft I thought it would be worthwhile to include what looks to be the absolute in RC flying. There were a few large prop aircraft flying during the day that made comparison even more dramatic. I also think the turbines are attracting many of the best flyers from, pylon, pattern, scale, etc. Some of you may have seen turbines fly already, but if you haven’t its worth your time to see them. You won’t be disappointed!
