Hi Sentry,

This page gives a general rundown of what [link=http://www.hooked-on-rc-airplanes.com/precision-aerobatics.html]precision aerobatics and pattern flying[/link] is and how to get started.

You can begin practicing precision aerobatics with just about any airplane that can perform basic aerobatic maneuvers. Once you move up in competitions you will probably want a "true pattern ship" to keep up with your competitors. But such a plane can be very expensive and is definitely not needed for getting started in flying precision aerobatics.

Hope this helps,
