RE: what is "pattern" flying
Berusty, Yup D. Lock it was. Actually I spent about 4 hrs at the field today with his father today. I am entering the beginning phases of pattern and I was working on the sportsman routine with one of our other Pattern guys. Flying a Tiger II until my modded Tiger 60
is complete. It takes alot of practice and work but when you finally get one or more of the manuevers correct it's worth it.
One of the nicest things about learning from the guys at my field is they won't lie to you, cause if you go into a competeion they will be the judges.
