I have aquired a Summit III pattern ship, YS .61 w/ pipe, retracts. I have never competed in pattern and don't know too much about it. I'd like to try it out, and I was wondering if this airplane would work for sportsman. I was also wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for prop sizes. I know this plane was not designed for the newer style pattern sequences, but I was hoping I could make it work long enough to see how I like pattern flying. I have flown the airplane with a 11x7.5 prop, but it doesn't seem like I'm getting enough performance. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
