Nope, not again...
 
I think pattern is a great tool for teaching pilots a lot about flying.
The short time that I spent practicing has taught me a lot.  It is so
much more fun trying to learn to rudder correct than it is learning to
hover.....I was teaching a young kid at our field the other day.  I
never really taught the use of the rudder until I started flying
pattern.  I just figured they would start using it someday, now I am
trying to get people to mess around with it early in their training.
 
The planes are incredible to boot.  My 33 % Cap felt like crap after
flying that Focus around....but the IMAC planes made a better everyday
flyer, and they won out for my situation.  As I have mentioned before,
out of 350 plus members at my local club, not a single guy flies
pattern.  I did receive several emails from guys off this list inviting
me to come check out their clubs (which I appreciated), but with out an
everyday practice partner, it would have been tough, for me anyway....so
for me, IMAC wins (6 IMAC pilots at my local field). 
 
I truly hope someone or something sparks an interest in people for
pattern flying.  As per other comments on here, I am not the only one
that feels this way.
