Pattern Box Rules (discussion)

[rick wallace]

Matt - 

Ya nailed this one! Great! 

 

Let's go burn fuel and quit inventing things to try and fix! 

 

If it was easy, it wouldn't be fun!

In Pattern:

There's nothing wrong with the +/-60 degree stage rule and the 150 meter out
distance is fine also. 

There's nothing wrong with the 5 kilo max rule. 

There is nothing wrong with the 2x2 meter max rule

There's nothing wrong with the unlimited engine power rule

 

What's the next complaint du jur that ""needs fixing"""? The 42 volt nominal
voltage when an electric is involved? Or possibly argue that real radio
programmability with rate functions is desirable? Or autopilots and gyros?
Or maybe putting an upper limit on prop size because a X" prop on an engine
is dangerous? 

 

Interestingly, one could argue that pattern has some similarity to golf in
that it's an individual's sport. Many may play golf but a small percentage
is good at it and extremely few are pros. C'mon fellas, pattern should be
challenging to do well. Actually, more accurately, pattern is just plain
tough to do, period. I find that fun. Don't you?
