RE: Advice on pattern plane
BMircle, sorry i sropped out of sight for a couple days. I fly pattern at ARCS when i get to. I prefer it there because of the paved runway and also they do have 60 deg lines painted on the runway, plus the powerlines are about 175 meters. I want to fly at kingsbury becuase it is the same distance for me and i can surround myself with other precision pilots IMAC and one crossonver pilot Bill Higgins might (should) fly pattern this year.
I live perfectly inbetween both fields.. 45 miles both directions. For your regular club, go with ARCS as it is on your side of town, get off at 4-5 and fly for 3 hours till sun goes down during the summer, cant beat it.
Gimme a call if you like, i will pm you the number.
