Jester: I have been as critical as others have been. And I recognized his exuberance for going forward as a novice in both RC and Pattern.

GaRCfield is flying in the Sportsman category. This can be flown with just about any aircraft, but the Venus II is probably the most able aircraft for the entry level Pattern flying. GaRCfield did good. He chose the Venus II to do this with. He is learning to set it up, and set it up right. He is also learning to fly really well with this plane. Good for him. Good for the sport. Good for Pattern. Enough said.
