RE: Pattern is dead
I guess I wasn't clear in getting my point across, I sugested no 2m planes & 110cc and under motors in the sportsman class only to promote the sport for the average guy. I'm not saying practicing with a good coach is a bad idea, as many clubs have no one flying pattern like that at our club, but one guy that will not help anyone. I will be attending the "Pattern Primer" this month with my 90 Quest 3D bird which costs $175-$200 and is a very nice entry level bird. This is the type of planes the rules should be made to favor in the sportsman class instead of the 2m tuned pipe mega dollar pattern ship.
