I never said or implied that the Bridi Kaos is not a pattern ship. How did you come up with that conclusion?

Here is why the stock Sig Kougar is a miserable flying ship in pattern (granted, it depends upon your class):

The rudder on the Kougar is above the thrust and wing centerlines. This provides lots of left roll while providing right yaw when right rudder is applied. Bad, bad, bad.

The Kougar foam wing cores are cut with wash-out included, whether you want it or not. When upright, this is a good thing. When flying three outside loops in the old pattern you entered from the inverted flight position. What was wash-out is now wash-in. Result? Snaprolls at the high G point of the maneuvers. 0 points for the maneuver.

I'm not challenging you, or trying to say you're wrong. I don't play that game. We're just talking here.
