pattern is really the most beautifull flying style of all

there are many others that people like to see, they are more spectacular and you make more risky manouvers near the ground and usually pattern seems to be a bit " boring " for some people....

im inviting you, bkelly, take one or two flying days and practice some simple manouvers, like loop, immelman, split-s, and pratice over and over and over, and again and again...when the manouver goes clean or you can performe a perfect loop, YOUR HEART WILL GO OFF OF YOUR CHEST !!!! other pilots will star looking at you in a different way, and you will cannot stop flying pattern
your skills will improve a lot, you will start enjoying more those flying days and every day will become a challenge to you, it doesnt matter you dont go to competitions, you will start competing with yourself and with your flight before the last one

sorry, may seem too much but try it, it is worth

good flights !!!
