Classic Pattern Event in Chicago...2010!

I presented the idea of the club (FVRC) hosting a one day classic pattern event at last Thursdays club meeting and received a very warm response from members as well as 2010 officers. Club members are aware of the current pattern models, seeing mine fly and have asked questions about what models would be eligible.

Models that one can fly with "precision" AND are considered to be "Classic Pattern". My unofficial mission is to promote "Flying with Precision", not just pattern flying or classic pattern or IMAC. If one learns to fly with precision, all models become easier to fly in a greater variety of weather conditions.

Rusty's List of fine models which are very inexpensive:

Tower Kaos 40 ARF...very inexpensive, sound design, capable...$109.95. Add an OS 55 AX ($159.95) and you can be just like Jason Shulman at the rececent event in the Southeast. Use the servos in your inventory, take the time to assemble accurately, actually trim the model and you have a winner for less than $300.

World Models Intruder 90...very inexpensive, sound highly modified design, capable...$199.95. Add an OS 61 FX (APC 12 x 9), servos from your inventory or add digitals to improve performance via better resolution. Take the time to assemble, actually trim it and it is an exceptionally good value...for less than $400.

The photos show the above. Yes, hand built models may fly better and may look better...for the average modeler, with average skills and average attention spans...they are excellent values.
