Default RE: what is "pattern" flying

mmmmm, hover well ,yes if you have a big engine, but the surfaces are smaller, in order to have more " slow" and precise movements, so we can say that they can hover, bot are not made for that as a 3d airplane
pattern ships have longer tail moments, thinner wing profiles ( you dont fly at such big angle of attack ) and are more flyable

dont spend time with a pattern aircraft trying to fly 3D,
fly smoother, bigger, precise, it takes dicipline, reading some info on the web if you dont have a coach and learn to use the throotle, (seems strange? you will see it is as important as the other 3 channels )

axial roll....takes a new meaning when you start flying pattern

and dont spend a millon dollars buying a big ship, many think that you should, try a smaller and you will have anough fun (of course the 2M planes fly better, im not saying that )
