FAI F3AL---Pattern IMAC combined

[Marty Pizzitola]

Good point Tony. Another problem is noise. Pattern engines are much more
quiet, and much of what a pattern pilot depends on is throttle up and down,
( the noise one hears ). With a big noisy gas engine roaring in the sky, a
pattern guy would probably have a tuff time .
