Pattern Student,
I have re-read your post as noted. Nothing in paragraph 5 mentions anything about speed. I also didn't say your trottle was inoperative. I just don't agree the plane is "WAY too fast for pattern". Speed is controlled by the throttle even though the plane design will have an effect. The one I fly has a YS-63 FS and can be flown too fast. This is true with most any plane. Flying the left stick is what is needed in Pattern or IMAC for better scores. Sorry if you were offended. This forum is for information exchange. It doesn't mean we all have to agree on every item. Glad to hear you have planes in your hanger. I have 3 dozen most of which are IMAC, pattern, warbirds or giant scale including a 1/3 Stearman and several 40+%.

Have a wonderful life,
