Default RE: SPA Pattern and Vintage Pattern

The club I belong to has around 60 members and I’ve never seen anyone fly a 2M pattern ship at our field. I don’t think anyone has one. When I joined the club in 1988 there were a lot of members flying pattern and competing but no one followed the turnaround change and by 1997 there wasn’t much interest. There are a few diehard members that still fly classic pattern aircraft for fun and years ago the club actually held a SPA pattern contest. That was early in the SPA history before the use of four strokes impacted the direction. No contest activity since then.
