RE: Spoiled after flying pattern planes?
nowt wrong wi stick-banging. hehe
I'll stick in a pennys worth,
I had a 60" sports pattern a few years ago, and through its design and a desire to succeed in pattern, my flying definitely got better. Since it crashed I've had 3d, scale aero and a fast delta, but I'm goin through them like trainers coz their so easy to get on top of relative to the pattern ship. Before I had it, I was with the majority in that if I couldnt have a 2m and ys140(4yrs ago remember) with a futaba 9ZAP, I wasnt interested, but now... my 2nd one's come down from the loft, and once the hangar rash is tidied up it'll be getting built.
I think the fun-factor you refer to is more an X-factor, to impress the crowds(NOT ozzy's mingin mrs [:'(]).
