Ahhhhh,.....Mike don't get cought up in the "RUBBISH" you can't convince a person that has never flown the VF3 of it's awesome performance. Those of us that choose and desire to fly them,...fly them for a very good reason,......PERFORMANCE,...PERFORMANCE,...PERFORM ANCE!!!!!!

Not my argument,..excuse me for interjecting on the subject if I may.[8D]

Cees:The measure of a planes abilities is NOT measured by a humpy bump,....heck an Avistar trainer will do them and well I might add, but it won't fly the P or F-11 worth beans. It's notiable to say there are some very good designs out there old and new I have not flown. I don't need too,....the VF3 does it all and does it with grace. The BM VF3 excells in wind,...by looking at the size of it you would not initially think so,....it does!!

The increased complex sequences has forced the development in pattern aircraft to evolve to bigger,taller and wider designs to make them fly on thier sides better and maintain a more constant pace,....the days of a mach 2 pattern design is long gone. Your imagination will not serve you well on the subject of the VF3,..you have to fly one to believe it,....if not,...the speculation and insinuation of an imaginary problem is a mut'e point.

I have no doubt your Taurus flies well,...don't think you will see the Taurus flown in the world Championships in 2011. It's completely unfair to attack a design,..designer and the very talented pilots that "DESIRE" to fly them with no substantiated experience with the plane to back it up.


The Netherlands is a beautiful country,.....one of my favorites!
