Cappa, The Yak, or the extra (not the 3d versions) on low rates will be good for learning the Pattern maneuvers.
The planes should react gently to controls not fast and twitchy. In pattern flying loops and anlges are done very gently
with precision. As CGretired said one of the hardest things to master is the straight line. it requires you to learn to fly
a "wings level" line. starting any maneuver without the wings level will make the plane veer off to the left or right
as soon as elevator is applied. I would reccomend learning to fly a nice straight "wings level" line then build on that
by learning the Half, and half reverse cuban eight. next step is learning to do round loops. then you will learn vertical lines.
after these maneuvers become instinctive and the geometry is easy to reproduce on command, you will be able to fly a
great many pattern maneuvers with ease.

The genesis and pinnacle on G3.5 behave very much like a 2 meter pattern ship, although the low rates on the genesis
should be a little more. but not quite as extreme as the high rates. The pinnacle flys the sportsman and intermediate
sequences well on low rates.
