RE: Pattern vs Aerobatic
I think it's harder to fly the IMAC planes. They are scale, and as such, have coupling and other unwanted flight characteristics. You have to be good enough to fly the plane without anyone noticing.
Pattern planes have had all those bad tendencies engineered out. They fly neutral at any attitude. They don't suffer from pitch, or rudder coupling as bad as a scale plane.
Not looking for a fight--just stating my opinion
