Electric Pattern

[Keith Black]

I doubt the migration will be that rapid, and I wouldn't think judging would be discriminatory if the planes are the same size and same style. 

The real difference would be if electric engines improve flying due to more power and quicker response, basically the same debate that's gone on about two strokes vs. four strokes.

Clearly this is not nearly as dramatic as the change from 60 to 120 sized planes.

Personally I look forward to electric pattern becoming an affordable reality!

  Just like all that jumped aboard when 120's became the next advance and 60 size were pedaled and weren't not judged to the same standards. Became outclassed. I campaigned a 60 sized bird for many years and I can tell you all the negatives when competing against full 2m equipment. I didn't see many beginners jumping on all those 60 sized birds either.

    The flip side of this is that it may result in more used equipment becoming available for newcomers into pattern.
