Default Why NOT "Pattern"?

I did post one - when I get the final example all purtied up -I will post more - BUT at this point Iam only trying to prove one thing- is the 2.4 reasonably practical in a 11 lb model.
The aswer is a resounding yes.
If a person is looking for a turn key setup -at the present time -the answer is --NO.
If you have decent building skills - and are willing to follow guidelines - you can do it.
If you build and "hope" . it won't happen.
The result is not a fragile model -but it will not tolerate heavy servos - big redundant batteries - retracts - a fancy cockpit etc.
It is very simple and all parts count.
The result is a model which ahas instant acceleration from any position if needed and in normal flite -is quiet -the engine is just loafing along.
