Default RE: What is pattern Flying ??????


ORIGINAL: snowman333

Sounds like some crazy fun man ! , when my abilitys get that advanced I will have to try it . I have only been flying nine months . My airplanes are a trainer , a Supercub , a Piper Cub 40 , and a Piper Cub 25 . ( I can't help it I LOVE CUBS ) For my next Airplane I have my eye on the E-flite Brio . I'm a ways off from from doing all that fancy stuff !!!!! But I'll get there ,,,, eventually .

I know a guy who currently flys the most advanced patterns. He soloed years ago, but got started in pattern a few weeks after he soloed....with his Avistar trainer! You don't NEED to be an expert, but pattern will make you one if you stick with it.

I owned an E-Flite Brio. It's a very nice little airplane and takes the wind pretty well. If you are looking for an easy pattern practice airplane it's a good one, but because of it's size I wouldn't use it for serious pattern competition. PM me if you need any advice on what to buy for it (engine, battery, etc).

Have fun!
